Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp caraway seeds, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 head cut in 1-inch wedges green cabbage, 2 cored, wedged Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apple, and 1 sliced yellow onion to the bowl and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on the sheet pan.

  4. 4
