# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Unbeatable Texture: Features a perfect balance of crispy edges and a tender, melt-in-your-mouth center.
  • Flavor-Packed: The combination of nutty parmesan, aromatic garlic, and smoked paprika creates a deeply savory profile.
  • Diet-Friendly: Naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, making it a crowd-pleasing option for various dietary needs.
02 -
  • Don't Overcrowd: Ensure there is plenty of space between the wedges on the baking sheet to allow the hot air to circulate, which ensures the edges get crispy rather than steamed.
  • Proper Prep: Use a very sharp knife to cut through the cabbage to maintain clean, uniform wedges.
  • Fresh Garnish: A final sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives right before serving adds a bright, fresh note that balances the richness of the cheese.
