Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Remove wilted outer leaves, rinse cabbage, and pat completely dry.
  3. Slice the cabbage into 4 equal wedges, keeping the core intact.
  4. Whisk olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Brush the oil mixture evenly over all sides of the cabbage wedges.
  6. Arrange wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
