Method
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut pointed cabbages in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact so leaves stay together.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and miso paste until smooth. Brush this miso butter generously over the cut surfaces of the cabbage halves.
Press sesame seeds firmly onto the miso butter-coated surfaces of the cabbage. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place cabbage halves cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30-35 minutes until edges are caramelized and cabbage is tender when pierced with a knife.
Meanwhile, make the sesame sauce by whisking together tahini, rice vinegar, honey, and 2-3 tablespoons warm water until smooth and creamy.
Remove cabbage from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with sesame sauce and garnish with sliced spring onions before serving.

Tips & variations
Perfect Caramelization
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each cabbage half space so the edges can properly caramelize and develop that beautiful golden color.
Miso Selection
White miso (shiro miso) is milder and sweeter than red miso, making it perfect for this dish. If you only have red miso, use a bit less as it's more intense.
Keep the Core
Leave the core attached when halving the cabbage - it helps hold all the leaves together during roasting and makes for prettier presentation.
Spicy Version
Add a pinch of chili flakes to the miso butter or drizzle with sriracha before serving for a gentle heat that complements the umami flavors.
Protein Addition
Turn this into a complete meal by serving over steamed rice with crispy tofu or a soft-boiled egg on top for extra richness and protein.
