Recipe: Oven Roasted Cabbage

I have totally been slacking on your guys this past week, and for that I apologize. My Dad and Shelly visited this past weekend and we crammed all kinds of things into their four day visit. Things like an oil change for our car, a motorcycle licensing test for Jason, a full day of dress shopping for the wedding for Shelly, a suit fitting for Dad... oh, and lots of food. Admittedly, not the best of food choices over the past few days, but we've lined things back out at this point.

The process for this oven roasted cabbage is so simple its unreal. And I love how incredibly cheap organic cabbage is. The last time I was at the produce market we scored organic white cabbage for nine cents per pound. A whole head was about $0.20 and made enough to have for three meals. And I said it before, but cabbage wasn't something I thought I liked until I tried it like this, so give it a shot!

Oven Roasted Cabbage

Ingredients:                                                              

1 Head of White Cabbage

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper (or other seasonings like garlic salt or blackening seasoning) 

Instructions:

1. Remove any outer leaves of the cabbage that may not be in as good of shape as the others.
2. Slice the cabbage into 1/2" thick slices. Be sure that the base of the cabbage (where it was separated from the plant) is on the bottom when you begin slicing. So in other words, if you set the cabbage right-side up on your cutting board and then begin making your slices, you're good to go.
3. Lay the slices out on a sheet pan that is lined with parchment, aluminum foil, or a Silpat.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and your choice of seasonings. I've used things like just salt and pepper, garlic salt, or blackening seasoning; all of which were delicious.
5. Place the sheet pan in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, then flip the slices over. Turn the oven onto Broil (high setting) and cook for another 10-12 minutes until the edges are browned and crispy.
6. Serve along side fish, chicken or your favorite entrée.
