How to make it.

  1. Season the cabbage with cumin, paprika, ginger, salt, pepper and olive oil.
  2. Place the cabbage, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and garlic in the basket, season the vegetables with basil and cooking oil, and air fry at 185°C (360°F) for 15 minutes.
  3. Mix the sour cream with dill, minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
  4. Peel the roasted pepper and garlic, then blend with the tomatoes, cooked beets, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the beet pepper sauce on a plate, add the roasted cabbage and spoon over the dill sour cream.

My tips.

Cut the cabbage into firm wedges so the leaves stay together while roasting. For a dairy-free version, use thick plant-based yogurt in the white sauce.
