# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The way the miso butter transforms simple cabbage into something that feels elegant and restaurant-worthy while taking almost zero effort
  • That perfect balance of salty, sweet, and savory flavors that makes even cabbage skeptics go back for seconds
02 -
  • Don't be tempted to cut the core out completely, it's what keeps each wedge intact through the high-heat roasting process
  • That miso butter can burn if left too close to the heating element, so position your rack in the middle of the oven
03 -
  • Room temperature butter blends much more smoothly with the miso, creating a glossy emulsion rather than a separated, grainy mixture
  • Let the roasted cabbage rest for about 5 minutes before serving, this allows the glaze to set slightly and the wedges to firm up for easier transfer to your platter
