Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Cabbage Recipes Lemon-Garlic Marinated Cabbage Wedges 4.5 (2) 2 Reviews These roasted cabbage wedges let the lemony marinade seep into their folds for added flavor in every bite. Preheating the baking sheet gets a jump-start on the caramelization—the process that makes these cabbage wedges sweet and golden brown. Serve this easy side with anything from roast chicken to pork roast or sautéed pork loin.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, remove any wilted or damaged leaves from cabbage. Cut the head into 8 (1 1/4-inch-thick) wedges, leaving the root end intact to help wedges stay together. Whisk oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons dressing in a small bowl. Divide the cabbage wedges between 2 (gallon-size) zip-top plastic bags; pour the remaining dressing from the medium bowl into the bags; rub to coat the cabbage with dressing. Let stand for 15 minutes, tossing the bags occasionally.

Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Roast, flipping once, until tender and browned, 35 to 40 minutes.

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.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
