Roasted Cabbage
Every cook needs their secret ways of throwing together a delicious meal quickly, roasted cabbage is one of my secrets to success in the kitchen. This is an easy low-carb side that is packed with flavor but requires LITTLE effort to make.
One of the reasons I love roasted cabbage and roasting vegetables in general,
Cabbage is no exception.
I was surprised by how hard it was to find cabbage in the middle of winter at a decent price point. But when I found one I knew exactly what I was going to do with it.
Cabbage is one of those things that you either really like, or you rarely use. Some find it hard on their digestive system and thus avoid it. But if you’re not in that camp, you need to make it a regular part of your kitchen.
While living in China, fall was marked by trailer loads of cabbage and families taking home literal loads of cabbage. I guess each family fermented a big batch? It wasn’t Korea, so it wasn’t turned into Kimchi (which is also delicious!). We were often served cabbage soup of sorts.
My best friend lived across town and her apartment neighbors would leave the cabbage out in the stairwell. The stairwell was not heated and was very, very cold at times. But we were always questioning that cabbage and hoping that it wouldn’t end up in one of our meals.
I digress. Cabbage is versatile and usually pretty cheap. And delicious when roasted.
