Air Fryer Cabbage Recipe
An easy, nutritious, and delectable side dish, air-fried cabbage turns ordinary cabbage into flavorful, crispy, caramelised morsels. The air fryer works its magic to produce flawlessly browned edges while maintaining the tenderness of the middle with just a few spices and a dab of butter or olive oil. It’s an easy, low-carb, and inexpensive meal that goes well with practically any main course.
Ingredients:
1 medium head of green cabbage (or red cabbage), cut into wedges or thick slices
2–3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1–2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
Instructions:
Prep the cabbage – Remove outer leaves and cut into thick wedges or rounds (1–1.5 inches). Pat dry.
Season – Mix oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush evenly over wedges.
Air Fry – Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange wedges in a single layer. Cook 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
Serve – Sprinkle Parmesan (optional) and garnish with parsley. Serve hot.
Tips:
For spicy cabbage, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning.
For a cheesy version, top with shredded mozzarella or cheddar in the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
Works great as a side dish with chicken, fish, or beef—or serve with a dipping sauce like garlic aioli or ranch.
