Getting more vegetables into your family's diet can be a bit of a challenge, as I'm sure you know. But this Garlic Roasted Cabbage can really help.

Main Ingredients

  • Cabbage. Use a medium-sized cabbage head that is not too heavy (the leaves should feel hard), and not too loose.
  • Butter. I used plant-based butter to make a vegan version, but if you prefer regular butter, that's fine too. Olive oil can also be used.
  • Seasonings. Garlic powder, salt, and taco seasoning. Taco seasoning could be substituted with other spices, such as paprika, berbere, zaatar, dried Italian herbs, or whichever spice is your favorite.

How to Make Garlic Roasted Cabbage

1. Remove the bruised outer leaves from the cabbage. With a sharp knife, gently cut it into 1-inch-thick rounds.

2. Spread the softened butter on top of the cabbage rounds and season with salt, taco spice, and garlic powder.

3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the cabbage rounds on the paper, seasoned side down. Now spread the butter on the top of the rounds again and sprinkle the seasonings on as well.

4. Bake for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cabbage rounds from the oven, flip them over carefully, and bake them again for another 15-20 minutes. When done, they should be nicely roasted and cooked through.

Tips for Making Garlic Roasted Cabbage

  • Choose the right cabbage. When choosing a cabbage head, you want to make sure that the leaves are firm and not loose. The outer leaves will be removed so it's okay if they're not perfect. Look for one that has a firm stem and decent weight for its size.
  • Flip them halfway. It might be tempting to just let the cabbage rounds roast throughout the cook time, but you definitely want to flip them at the halfway point. Doing this allows the spices and butter to blend and seep in between the cabbage leaves and give the rounds that gorgeous and delicious char on both sides.

What to Serve it With

  • As is. This Garlic Roasted Cabbage is so tasty and filling, you can eat it as a light meal or snack during the day.
  • As a side. Serve this vegetable dish beside some of your favorite proteins. Meats (Baked Pork Chops), chicken (Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast), hummus, or tofu (sofritas).
  • On top of bread. With its perfect mix of spices and garlic, this roasted cabbage can be served on a slice of rustic bread to make it more filling, yet still light enough for a small meal or snack.
  • With mashed potatoes. Mmm... This garlicky cabbage with some smooth mashed potatoes would be absolutely delish.

And whether you want to eat it on its own or as part of a larger meal, you'll love how easy it is to make. I hope you enjoy incorporating this healthy and flavorful vegan dish into your meal times. It's the perfect way to spice up the veggies at your family table!

    Hi Tania, I had some trouble with even cooking. However, I had luck with keeping the steaks together by cutting steaks in half and then tying the half-moon pieces together with kitchen string before baking. Will try again for sure.

    This was super good! I didn't use any extra salt. Instead, I sprinkled mine with salt free lemon pepper, and garlic powder. I also only needed to use 2 T butter. I used a light kind to save on fat and calories. This is definitely a keeper, thank you. <3

    Hi there, found your recipe through a FB group. I love cabbage and I love finding new ways to cook it. I just ran out of green cabbage and will be trying this with purple instead + dairy butter + the seasonings you recommended without taco seasonings. I'm excited to pair it with mashed potatoes! Will have to follow up and let you know how it turns out =D
