How To Roast Cabbage In The Oven
Cooking cabbage in the oven is one of the tastiest ways, maybe even the only way to do it. These thick slices of cabbage are also called cabbage steaks because they are so hearty they almost eat like a meal.
Honestly, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper on the cabbage alone is going to taste delicious. But we came up with this zesty flavored oil, almost like a vinaigrette that makes this cabbage recipe stand out from the rest!
When you roast cabbage, or any vegetable, it condenses the flavors and almost makes it taste sweet and caramelized. Roasted Carrots are another delicious example of this, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

Is Cabbage Good For You?
If your brain is a little foggy, try a big helping of cabbage. Cabbage is loaded with Vitamin K which is said to help with brain function and concentration.
Cabbage is also very low in carbohydrates, which is why many people following a low carb diet add cabbage to many of their recipes like these Cabbage Roll Meatballs for instance or our Pork Egg Roll Soup recipe.
Roasted or steamed cabbage can help lower cholesterol, it can also fight off acne and help you loose a few pounds since it’s so low in calories.
We added purple cabbage to this recipe too, mostly for the pretty color but in doing some research on the nutrients in cabbage we learned that red cabbage is the powerhouse of cabbage as far as nutrition goes, so it’s way more than just pretty.
