Garlic Roasted Cabbage

I love garlic. I don't love Cabbage. I really liked this dish! it really evened out nicely

Garlic Rubbed Cabbage

Ingredients

1 (approx 2lb) head of organic green cabbage, cut into 1″ thick slices

1.5 tablespoons olive oil

2 to 3 large garlic cloves, smashed (I used minced garlic that comes in a jar)

kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

spray olive oil OR non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Pull outer leaf off cabbage (it’s usually dirty and nasty looking), cut cabbage from top to bottom (bottom being root) into 1″ thick slices.

Rub both sides of cabbage with smashed garlic

Use a pastry brush to evenly spread the olive oil over both sides of the cabbage slices

Finally, sprinkle each side with a bit of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Roast on the middle rack for 30 minutes. Carefully flip the cabbage steaks and roast for an additional 30 minutes until edges are brown and crispy. Serve hot and Enjoy!

Before Roasting

I ended up only cooking it for 30 minutes on the bottom shelf (with out a flip) of the oven as Kris and I were busy making Salt Baked Salmon as well. I think that it I had made it the way it is directed to be cooked, it would be even better. Ours were a little crispy, though really quite delish with the smoky flavor. Sorry, I failed to take an after photo because we were so ready to dig in.

Try this out, even if you don't really care for cabbage. Roasting and garlic always makes it better.
