# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Cabbage transforms into something restaurant worthy with almost zero effort
  • The miso butter keeps forever in your fridge and makes everything taste better
  • Those caramelized edges are the kind of thing that make people forget theyre eating cabbage
02 -
  • Dont rush softening your butter or you will have tiny miso lumps no amount of mixing can fix
  • The sauce makes enough for two heads of cabbage, so double the cabbage or save half for roasted broccoli another night
03 -
  • Red cabbage works but needs about 5 extra minutes and makes your sauce look slightly pink, which is actually kind of pretty
  • Line your baking sheet with foil under the parchment if you want to avoid washing the pan entirely
