How To Cook Cabbage In The Oven
Cooking cabbage in the oven is one of the tastiest ways, maybe even the only way to do it.
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 goes so nicely with the cabbage.
The next trick to making this roasted cabbage so delicious is cutting it into thick slices like this…
You could also call these cabbage “steaks” like some cauliflower steak recipes, but oven roasted cabbage works just fine, too.
All you have to do is mix the ingredients together for the dressing and brush it onto your sliced cabbage. Roast for 35 minutes, basting with more dressing in between.

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.
So yes, cabbage is really good for you. We’re adding it to our weekly shopping list now, for sure.
