Becca's Charred Cabbage

 This is a very delicious way to eat a very economical and nutritious food, cabbage. Becca devised this method.

Preheat oven to 425
Add olive oil + kosher salt onto a baking tray
Slice cabbage into large rounds (removing core), lay them flat on the oiled baking sheet
Drizzle more olive oil over top of cabbage and use a pastry brush to distribute the oil all over and into every crack. If there's not enough oil it will burn, not brown in a good way. too little oil --> burned cabbage
Sprinkle more kosher salt over everything;
Put in oven for 30-45 minutes, stirring or flipping 1 or 2x as desired (esp necessary if the oven is uneven and some parts are burning but other parts are still cooking)

Timing is an estimate/guess, because it will depend on how crowded the pan is or if you distribute the cabbage onto more than one pan: a crowded pan will take a lot longer because the water released will create steam that prevents browning. If the cabbage has more room to release the steam, it will brown sooner.
