# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The miso butter transforms ordinary cabbage into something restaurant-worthy with almost zero effort
  • You get those caramelized edges and tender centers that make roasted vegetables completely addictive
02 -
  • Leaving the core intact is non-negotiable, those wedges will fall apart without it
  • Room temperature butter makes all the difference in creating a smooth, spreadable miso mixture
03 -
  • Let the wedges sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after roasting, this helps them finish cooking and makes them easier to move
  • Use a pastry brush for the miso butter if you want really even coverage on every nook and cranny
