  • Roasted Cabbage Slices Recipe

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:

  1. Cut a whole cabbage into thick slices
  2. Drizzle with oil
  3. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper
  4. 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!

    We usually steam our cabbage because, according to Dave Asprey, that is the best way to get all the anti-nutrients out of it before you eat it. I will try this recipe and let you know how it works. Thanks for sharing.

      Maybe thick slice them so they don’t disintegrate before the cabbage is ready?

    Do you cut across the cabbage or vertically? And what do you do with the core?

    I like to saute the thinly sliced cabbage in a pan with garlic, oil (could use coconut oil), salt & pepper. Once it is the consistency that you like add a pat of lite butter and serve. I am definitely going to try the roasted cabbage recipe.

    I made this last night as a substitute for spaghetti (using the sauce recipe from my italian mamma). My roommate loved it so much she went out today and bought two more heads of cabbage to roast.

      Would you mind sharing your sauce recipe. My email address is [email protected]
      I never learned to make sauce from scratch. I am learning about all the preservatives in foods and how terrible they are for the body.
