Roasted (Wish They Were Grilled) Cabbage
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Salad Ideas, Toddler Approved | 18 Comments
I have a confession. This summer loving home cook has no grill. :( We HAD a grill at our old house but it became a casualty of the move and now a new one just isn’t in our budget. Unfortunately the deck where that grill would love to sit is also out of the question but I digress.
As the name suggests I’d much rather throw these on the grill however, they work perfectly fine in the oven. So why not?
If you’ve never had grilled cabbage you are in for surprise. It’s hardy, super light in calories and very filling. 
I flavor mine with a bit of lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, pepper and bacon bits but you could really use anything. Even the toddler was intrigued by this one and asked for a bite. He gave it 2 thumbs up. The husband didn’t eve bother trying it. Just not his thing.
- 1 tsp olive oil (5g)
- 2 tbsp real bacon bits (14g)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper (more or less to taste)
- 1 Medium Head of Cabbage
Preheat the oven (or the grill, you lucky son of a b ;) to 425 degrees.
Mix the olive oil, bacon bits, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to make the marinade.
Prepare the cabbage. Rinse it under water and remove any yucky loose leaves.
Cut the head in half on the core..
Then cut the halves in half again…
…to make quarters.
Lay each wedge on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it up in. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the marinade on top making sure to get it in all the nooks and crannies.
Wrap each wedge and bake for 20-30 minutes.
I say 20-30 becuase they will continue to cook once you pull them out. If you are going to let them sit for a little while pull them out around the 20 minute mark.
The wedges reheat wonderfull in the oven or the microwave!

This sounds delicious! I don’t know why I only think of cabbage for Chinese Chicken Salads and to go with Corned Beef for St. Patty’s Day! lol CRAZY! Thanks for the reminder & recipe! :)
You are a genius!
Looks delicious. Love cabbage (and bacon!).
I tried a brussles sprouts recipe from you once. It was very similar, and came out really good. But in that recipe, you needed to “burn” them, I mean to get them really black to make them yummy. Wonder how this might turn up….
Whoa, you referred to the little guy as the toddler! =) Hey, I have two suggestions for you. First, maybe try putting them under the broiler for a bit to give them a charred flavor (sorta grill-like). Second, we just moved and have no budget for a grill, either (waiting for end of season clearance), but we DID have enough to buy one of those portable table-top gas grills like you would take for camping or picnics. It works great for our family (2 adults, 1 tween, 1 teen) and it uses those small canisters of propane that you can pick up anywhere. It’s quick to clean up, quick to set up, and easy to store so you don’t even need a deck, just a heat proof table. I put a cookie sheet under mine to catch the drips and I store the whole shootin’ match in the garage. And you can always take it for cookouts in the park or whatnot. Double duty!
Yum! I love cabbage. I will try this tomorrow with the steaks I defrosted but didn’t cook because I had huge amounts of stuff to do.
Roni-
Another cheapish option for a grill is a charcoal grill from Target, Wal-Mart or similar store. We have a Thomas brand one that we bought at Target for about $25 at least 3 years and 2 moves (Minnesota-Colorado and Colorado-Missouri). It gets some shelter at this house and did at our house in CO, as well, but it sat outside during the harsh MN winter. My DH’s family never grilled and soon after we got married I begged for a grill, and we got one of these, this is the second in 8 years of marriage. So, they last a few years, at least. :)
Love it with the bacon bits! Bacon makes everything better! I”m not a huge griller. Ours isn’t convenient to get to and I just don’t think of it.
Get Kenmore on board as one of yur sponsors maybe they would be generous enough to gift you one. You could take pics of the grill as you cook etc.
I’m on your husband’s side on this one, i jsut can’t get over the smell of cooked cabbage, yuck. But it does look pretty.
Have you thought about getting something like this (Amazon link)?
The cabbage sounds really good, I’ll have to give it a go!
I shred a cabbage finely and then combine it with a tablespoon of olive oil and 1 cup of onion and roast it at 415 degrees or so for about 45 minutes. I mix it up every 15 minutes or so, trying to get good crispy bits out of it. Sometimes I splash it with good balsamic vinegar in the last 10 minutes.
Hi Roni –
What calculator do you use to calculate WW points for recipes?
Thanks,

Nicole –
I use a combination of websites, nutritiondata.com, fitday.com, and sometimes sparkpeople.com. I measure everything on my handy dandy electronic scale and tally up the totals.
Hope that helps!

This is really cool! I’ve never thought about doing that before. Can’t wait to try it.
I love cabbage- and can’t believe I have never made it this way. I have discovered it is hard to make it good and healthy at the same time when making it in a pan on the stove. I am from the south and we make it with fat/bacon grease. I can see this way quickly becoming my new healthy way of making it.
Roni ~ I made this last night for supper. Both the hubby and I thought it was awesome! Next time I’ll have to cook just a bit longer though. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful ideas/recipes with us.
Hi Roni<
I made this last night and it was delicious. I had your recipe in my mind for a few days and when I finally went to make it I couldn't get on-line to get the recipe (our internet was down)….so I winged it. Logging on this morning I see I forgot a few ingredients but it was still delicious. Can't wait to try it with all the ingredients….and I'll have lots of chances….my hubby planted 34 cabbages in our garden:)
