# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns humble cabbage into something you'll crave, with crispy caramelized edges and a creamy, umami glaze that coats every bite.
  • The miso butter does all the heavy lifting while you do almost nothing, just brush and roast.
  • It works as a side dish or a light dinner, especially when you pile it next to rice or grilled anything.
02 -
  • Don't skip flipping the wedges halfway, that's when the underside gets its chance to caramelize and crisp up.
  • If your miso butter looks too thick, warm it slightly in the microwave for a few seconds so it spreads easily.
03 -
  • Let the butter come to room temperature before mixing so it blends with the miso without clumping.
  • Save any leftover miso butter in the fridge, it's incredible on roasted vegetables, grilled corn, or even spread on warm bread.
