My name is Katie and I love cabbage. I never really thought I’d say that. I’m not a huge fan of coleslaw. In fact, I usually use broccoli instead of cabbage when making it.
However, I’ve learned that if I don’t like something, sometimes I just need to either try making it myself or try a completely different way of preparing it. I’m part Irish and I found that I have a soft spot for cooked cabbage. These roasted cabbage slices are delicious.
How to Roast Cabbage Slices
These roasted cabbage slices are crazy good. They are also so easy that I feel bad posting them as a recipe! All you have to do is follow these simple steps:
- Cut a whole cabbage into thick slices
- Drizzle with oil
- Sprinkle on some salt and pepper
- Roast them at 400°F until browned and crispy
They are crunchy and salty but still healthy. Sometimes I like to sprinkle on different spices to give the cabbage slices a different flavor profile. Garlic powder is always a favorite around here. I’ve also done taco seasoning a couple of times.
A note on cutting the cabbage: I like to leave the core in because it helps hold the cabbage slices together. It’s easy to eat around and parts of the core that are too tough. For the same reason, I like to slice it from side to side going in the same direction as the stem. However, if you accidentally slice it from top to bottom don’t freak out. It’ll still work just fine and taste just as delicious.
More Ways to Enjoy Cabbage
Besides just eating these cabbage slices plain, I sometimes use them as the “spaghetti” for spaghetti and meatballs. It’s a particularly great way to use up leftovers. I also like them topped with an over-easy egg for breakfast.
If you’re still looking for additional cabbage recipes, maybe try one of these:
- Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry – is a fast, budget-friendly recipe that’s still tasty.
- Corned Beef and Cabbage – one of my favorite ways to make corned beef and cabbage is by roasting them in the oven.
- One-Pot Tomato and Cabbage Soup – lacks the caramelized goodness of roasted cabbage, but it’s warm and flavorful and perfect on a cold day. Not part of the recipe, but it’s delicious with spicy Italian sausage.
- Pan-Fried with Bacon and Onion – Not my recipe, but what’s not to love?
- Taco Slaw – If you like raw cabbage, this taco slaw is tangy and a little spicy and great on all kinds of tacos.
Mmm, now cabbage sounds delicious to you too, doesn’t it? A whole, raw cabbage will keep for quite a long time in the fridge, so keep an eye out next summer when you’re at the farmers market. Snag a couple and stash them for when you need one. Or try growing a few of your own!

Can you do this with red Cabbage?
Yes
Sure, why not, I bet it will be even better. 🙂
I had this yesterday for lunch before your post!! Im on the right track!! I will have to try using it for my “pasta” my family loves spaghetti. Thanks for your blog
I just made these this morning. They are wonderful. I’m going to try loosely tossing them in butter (they’ll fall apart, of course) and roasting them for 30 minutes, tossing twice in between. I’m attempting to make them just a little more uniform to use in place of noodles for pasta. We’ll see how it works 🙂
It worked! Except I only needed to roast them for about 15 minutes, tossing every five minutes or so. I used a whole head of cabbage, 3 T melted butter, 1/2 t garlic powder and 1/4 t each salt and thyme. I mixed everything up and kept it in a bag in the fridge and used it as needed. Of course it only lasted a few days 🙂 Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s now a staple in our home!
I am trying this tonight! Thanks!
will be making this tonight!! cant wait! lets hope atleast 3 out of my 5 kids will eat it! : )
I made this last night – amazing! I used unrefined coconut oil, pepper, salt, garlic powder and onion powder. My kitchen smelled delicious! I paired it with some veggie beef and a little bit of salsa on top. It’s a great recipe, super easy and very cheap, and I brought the leftovers for lunch today. Thank you very much for sharing!
Totally agree this is yummy! We roast carrots and onions with ours.
I put a big ole slice of chopped bacon to crisp in the bottom of my dutch oven, then shred the cabbage and add salt pepper paprika and cover it stiring when it gets a little brown on the bottom then just letting it wilt down stiring every 10 minutes….I will eat whole heads of cabbage by myself…oh yes I will!
Also I love cabbage with ground hamburger meat in the crock pot all day long….Lord that is delicious to.
Oh and if you can find someone to wrap it in packets and grill it on the charcoal grill it is ultimately fantastic!!!
I love shredded cabbage simply stir fried in butter. Loads of black pepper just before serving. Even my husband (whose mother ruined cabbage for him) will eat this.
Um, YUM! Love cabbage and am always looking for other ways to eat it. 🙂
So delicious!!!!!!! Easy to make. I used Bragg’s spice on ours. Med pink salt and tons of coconut oil. Had them with steamed spinach and the bacon chicken bites. Mmmm.
