Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut away the core, and keep the head intact.
Poke holes all over the cabbage head with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape.
Drizzle the cabbage with garlic flavored olive oil and sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the surface.
Place the minced garlic, butter, and a small amount of water into the cavity of the cabbage to create steam while it roasts.
Transfer the cabbage to a roasting pan and bake for about 2 hours, or until the leaves are tender and caramelized.
While the cabbage roasts, melt butter in a saucepan, add the same seasonings and additional minced garlic, and stir to form a garlic butter sauce.
When the cabbage is done, drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the top, slice if desired, and serve.
