Garlic Rubbed Roasted Cabbage
Cabbage gets a make over with some Olive Oil, Garlic and Salt and Pepper. Doesn't seem like such a transformation, but believe me it is. Cabbage goes from no thanks - to - is there any more ?
Ingredients
- 2 Large Cabbages
- ½ C Olive Oil
- 1 Bulb Garlic Or more....
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400℉.
- Get out 2 jelly roll or cookie sheets and cover with parchment.
- Remove outer leaves of cabbage if they are damaged or rotten. Wash your cabbage and then slice top to bottom in 1" thickness creating about 5-6 "steaks" of cabbage per head.
- Peel a bulb of garlic. (Depending on size - you may wish to use 2 bulbs of garlic)
- Finely chop the garlic.
- Put the olive oil and the garlic into a small pan and warm the olive oil infusing it with the garlic. Let the oil/garlic slightly simmer about 10 minutes - be sure the temp isn't too high - you don't want to "cook" the garlic.
- Using a silicone pastry brush or other tool (spoon?) - spread the garlic and the olive oil on BOTH sides of the cabbage. Salt and Pepper each side as you rub the garlic and olive oil on the cabbage. Tuck in the garlic bits into the crevices of the cabbage.
- Roast your cabbage in the hot oven for 30 minutes - then flip over the cabbage steaks using the largest spatula you have - and roast another 30 minutes. Edges should be brown and crispy. You may think mine look burnt - but they all got eaten up ! (Sorry that's such a messy picture - but I'd been cooking for 2 days and it was dinner time !) #KeepingItReal
- Cabbage obviously can be eaten with any meal - but goes real well with a St. Paddy's day corned beef....and...cabbage !
