Preparation Steps
1
Cut the cabbage into quarters, leaving the core intact to hold the wedges together. This prevents the leaves from falling apart during grilling.
2
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush the cabbage wedges evenly with this mixture.
3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the cabbage wedges on the grill grates and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown grill marks appear.
4
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the BBQ sauce with the honey until slightly thickened and the flavors meld together.
5
Once the cabbage is cooked, brush it with the warm BBQ sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
6
Serve immediately while hot, as a side dish to grilled meats or other vegetables, or on its own as a light, flavorful dish.
