Ingredients

1 head cabbage cut into 8 wedges
1/2 cup onion sliced
2 carrots peeled and sliced
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup butter cut into small pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Arrange the cabbage wedges in the baking dish, then scatter the carrots and onions around the cabbage.
Pour the chicken broth into the pan. Sprinkle the butter pieces over the cabbage and season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 2 hours. Uncover the dish halfway through the bake time and use tongs to carefully flip the cabbage wedges over.
Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Uncover the dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until cabbage starts to brown at the edges.
Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.

Notes

Before slicing your cabbage, discard the outer leaves and then rinse and dry the cabbage.
Be sure to leave the core attached so that the wedges will hold together in one piece.
Make sure the cabbage wedges are placed laying down on the bottom of the pan so that the cabbage can absorb the braising liquid and the butter can get into the cabbage.
Your cabbage wedges should be similarly sized so that they all cook in the same amount of time.
