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.

Congratulations, David! 💜😭✨🌻🎉💃🏿💕 Today my beloved announced that he has decided to leave his position as a tenure-track faculty member in order to create more space to serve his purpose as a healer. Doing so, he has formally launched his life coaching practice, @soulsupportlc. I say formally because David has been a life coach to me and many of our kindred for a very long time. I am so glad he has chosen to share his gifts and serve his purpose more widely.

I'm starting some time off for hiking and visiting I'm starting some time off for hiking and visiting family this week. And here's a photo of me at a North Carolina welcome center, high in the Appalachian Mountains, standing before a wall of blooming rhododendrons. I'm tired from all-day driving, but so happy to be deep in the mountains and surrounded by blues, greens, and even pinks! <3

The first person to show me the power of bearing witness was Helen, my first year Women and Gender Studies professor. Helen was a fierce feminist whose lectures felt more like prose, poetic and passionate. She made me want to take a hammer to patriarchy, and I loved it. 

With Helen, I felt safe enough to say the things I could barely articulate to myself. To name my wounds, to language hard truths, to let someone else in on my hurt. And with Helen, I felt held in those lived and living realities. There were no therapeutic interventions, no life adages, no solutions. There was simply a human being listening, honouring and affirming my experiences of misogyny, racism and sexual violence.

Years later, I forgot this wisdom. I went through therapeutic training(s) that, over time, left me feeling like that wasn't enough. That listening, and presence, and holding space for hurt wasn't enough. And in many aspects of life, I started to feel like I always needed a brilliant intervention that would offer an "aha moment." 

This week, I was reminded in many ways of the power of being present, of listening, of bearing witness. That you don't always need to have the answers, or offer your critical feminist thinking on a topic. You don't always need to have a solution, or advice. And you don't always need to intellectualize what someone's going through. Sometimes, you can just climb into the emotional fort they've built, grab a pillow, and be there. 

Yup, you can just be there, friend. And that's enough.
