How to Roast Cabbage
This dish is simple and requires few ingredients and little prep work! While the oven is preheating, slice half a head of cabbage into six wedges (feel free to double this recipe and use the full head if you’d like). In a small bowl, combine the oil, Worcestershire, and minced garlic. Brush this generously onto the cabbage wedges, making sure to cover as much as possible.
Spray a casserole dish or a rimmed baking sheet and place the cabbage wedges on it. Salt and pepper each wedge to taste, then roast 20-25 minutes. The edges should be a beautiful golden brown and the cabbage should be nicely tender.
Can I make this ahead of time?
I enjoy this most fresh out of the oven because the crispy edges are my favorite part. After it has been stored in the fridge, you’ll lose a lot of this crispiness. However, if you reheat this in the air fryer, you can get some of that crispiness back without completely overcooking the cabbage.
If you’d like to meal prep this but cook it fresh, you can easily cut and season the wedges, then store them in the fridge until ready to cook. I would not leave them in the fridge longer than a day or two as the cut pieces can dry out or brown a little over time.
How to Store & Reheat Roasted Cabbage Steaks
Once cooked, allow the roasted cabbage to completely cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last up to 5 days in the fridge, but you can extend the life of the cabbage by freezing it up to 3-6 months. When freezing, it’s best to tightly wrap with foil or plastic wrap before storing in a freezer bag.
When reheating, there are several ways to warm up your cabbage. You can microwave it if you prefer soft cabbage, but here are the best ways to enjoy crispy edges:
- Air Fryer: 400 degrees F for about 3 minutes
- Oven: 450 degrees F 5-8 minutes (reheating on a rack in a pan might result in crispier edges)
- Skillet: Medium high heat, about 2 minutes per side.
If you have frozen the cabbage, make sure to allow it to thaw before reheating. Keep in mind that there will be a lot of extra moisture after freezing, so you may not be able to get super crispy edges when reheating previously frozen cabbage.
What to Serve with Roasted Cabbage Wedges
I absolutely LOVED this roasted cabbage with the Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin (as pictured above), but you could serve this with many different types of dishes! Consider serving with a Spinach Stuffed Chicken for a great keto-friendly dinner, just 6.5 net carbs total. For a super kid-friendly meal, this would be fantastic with Oven Baked Chicken Tenders and Cheesy Cauliflower Casserole… And you’d still stay under 10 net carbs!
For a classic low-carb meal, how about a perfectly cooked Thick-Cut Pork Chop and a Cheddar Garlic Keto Biscuit? Top it all off with a great keto cocktail like this sugar-free Rosemary Gin Fizz!
