Roasted Red Cabbage: A Simple and Delicious Veggie

Filed Under: Recipes By Beth Godbee April 10, 2019 Leave a Comment

This image shows a plate of roasted veggies: a single slice of red cabbage appears next to several whole carrots, sweet potato wedges, and sliced leeks.

Ingredients:

  • Red cabbage (I use a head of cabbage or less: what’s left over from other meals)
  • Avocado oil or other high-heat oil (up to 1 tablespoon, rubbed into cabbage)
  • Sprinkle of salt and pepper, seasoning salt, or other desired seasonings

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Slice cabbage into strips (roughly ½ to ¾ inch each).
  3. Rub oil into the cabbage strips, covering both sides.
  4. Sprinkle salt or other seasonings onto the top of cabbage slices.
  5. Bake for roughly 30 minutes (longer if using a lower temperature), or until the cabbage is soft all the way through and slightly crispy on the edges.
This photo shows four ingredients against a white wall and a white cutting board. From left to right, these are oil, red cabbage, salt, and pepper.
Here the red cabbage slices are positioned side-by-side on a baking sheet and covered with oil, salt, and pepper. They are ready for roasting.

I never thought I’d write a recipe for roasted red cabbage—something so simple that I didn’t realize it needed a recipe—but two recent experiences made me realize it’s worth writing down.

First, during a recent visit with a seven-year-old, I kept preparing vegetables but having lukewarm or little interest. Veggies that are some of my favorites—like roasted asparagus, sugar snap peas with dipping sauces, and broccoli in fried rice—were only “ok” and worth a few bites. Then I made a tray of roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, and red cabbage. All three were enjoyed: finally, a successful kid-friendly meal! Surprisingly, the red cabbage was the favorite with requests to make it again the next day.

Second, when telling a friend this unexpected lesson, I got asked right away: “Ok, now how do you make this roasted red cabbage? Just oil? Salt and pepper? How thickly do you cut it? How long do you bake it?” All of these questions got me thinking, “Oh, ok. Maybe it’s worth writing down this recipe.”

So, here’s the recipe for roasted red cabbage that was recently kid-approved (approved by a tough critic). It’s simple and delicious—something to be made on busy weeknights or when needing motivation for self-parenting (the sort of deep self-care that involves eating cabbage, even when reaching for another bowl of cookie dough).

May it help with feeding families and fueling justice-oriented living, alike.

I've been reflecting a lot on trails this winter a I've been reflecting a lot on trails this winter and feeling how grateful I am that my work, especially coaching, is rooted in relationships.
 
One-with-one coaching can mean many different things, but it always involves connecting, listening, question-asking, and co-learning. At its best, it highlights what’s possible—possible in writing, relations, and life.
 
If you're interested in learning more or want to try a session, reach out. I'm here.
