Ingredients

1 green cabbage 2 to 2 1/2 pounds, washed and dried completely
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
Slice the cabbage down the core so you're left with two halves. Slice into 1 to 1 1/2-inch wedges. You should get 2 to 4 wedges from each half.
Brush the oil mixture on both sides of each wedge and place a single layer in the greased air fryer basket.
Air fry for 8 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Remove from the air fryer and season with salt and serve.

Notes

Cabbage: Green is best, but purple will work. However, you'll need to increase the air frying time by about 5 minutes.
Melted butter versus oil: I find the butter tastes better, but burns easily. If you use butter, keep an eye on the cabbage around the 5-minute mark.
Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for 2 months.
