Don't overcrowd the pan! Overcrowding will steam the cabbage instead of charring it. Watch closely during broiling! Broilers vary wildly, so keep a close eye to prevent burning. Taste and adjust! The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. Adjust the honey, vinegar, and spices to your liking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat & Prep: Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with a few teaspoons of vegetable oil. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange & Drizzle: Arrange cabbage slices, cut side up if possible, on the sheet, and drizzle the remaining vegetable oil evenly over the cabbage. (2 minutes)
03
StepFirst Char: Set an oven rack about 7 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler. Broil until the surface of the cabbage is lightly charred. (4-6 minutes)
04
StepFlip & Char Again: Use a spatula and tongs to turn cabbage over; return to the broiler to char the other side of the cabbage. (3-6 minutes)
05
StepAdd Onions & Carrots: Once both sides of cabbage are lightly charred, scatter over the sliced onions and use a vegetable peeler to make long, thick strips of carrot over the top. Arrange carrot strips evenly on top, and return pan to the broiler. (3 minutes)
06
StepSoften: Broil until carrots and onions begin to soften. (3 minutes)
07
StepSeason & Combine: Sprinkle salt, garam masala (or curry powder), and cayenne (if using), and use tongs to mix evenly. Use a spatula to move them in from the edges of the pan, removing empty space between them, and forming a nice, even rectangle. (2 minutes)
08
StepFinal Char: Return pan to the broiler; broil until cabbage is tender and charred to your liking. (a few minutes more)
09
StepDress & Serve: Transfer into a bowl and dress with honey, vinegar, and more salt if needed. Stir in olive oil and green onions. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. (5 minutes)
