Lemon-Garlic Marinated Cabbage Wedges

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is cabbage good for you?

  Cabbage is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. It’s rich in vitamin C, giving your immune system support. Cabbage contains plant compounds with anti-cancer properties. The fiber in cabbage acts as a prebiotic, providing food for your beneficial gut bacteria.

• Is this recipe gluten-free?

  Yes, this recipe is gluten-free since it has no ingredients containing gluten.

• Can I use dried thyme instead of fresh?

  Yes, you can. Dry herbs are more potent than fresh, so when swapping in dry, the rule is to use only a third of the amount of the fresh herb that's called for. So, in this case, 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves can be substituted with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.

• What should you serve with cabbage wedges?

  Your choices may depend on the season or the weather, but generally, any grilled or roasted meat or fish would pair well with roasted cabbage wedges. Serving the cabbage alongside warm and hearty casseroles like macaroni and cheese would be considered comfort food at its best. We would add potatoes of all kinds and in all ways—deciding which one might be difficult: baked, mashed or steak fries. We would add various veggies to brighten the plate: red, yellow and orange bell peppers, cauliflower, mushrooms and more.
  

• Is there a way to marinate the cabbage without using plastic bags?

  Absolutely. We suggest a container that doesn’t transfer smells or flavors, so glass would be the obvious choice. Make sure to cover the container, and turn the wedges a couple of times so they marinate evenly. Note: We would avoid marinating in a plastic container because it’s a magnet for odors and not always easy to clean.
