This Roasted Cabbage with Balsamic is one of my favorite easy side dishes to serve with dinner. Cabbage is extremely budget friendly and this entire side dish is just a couple dollars to feed a whole family.
Cabbage is a pretty underrated vegetable. Besides in coleslaw or on St. Patrick's Day I don't think many people eat it often.
Cabbage Nutrition
Cabbage is full of vitamins like vitamin K and vitamin C while being low in calories and fat. Have you heard of the cabbage soup diet? This is why. If you only eat a few hundred calories of soup each day, of course, you will lose weight but it's not very sustainable. I recommend adding in cabbage as a side dish instead of as your sole source of nutrition.
Balsamic Dressing on Cabbage
This balsamic dressing is also excellent on salad or chicken! Make a double batch and roast some chicken tenders in it as well for a complete meal.
Cooking Cabbage
Broiling the cabbage helps it to get crisp while the balsamic dressing thickens and glazes it. If you don't have a broiler just roast the roasted cabbage with balsamic on the top rack at the highest temp your oven allows.
This is also excellent chopped up and cold like a coleslaw. It has so much flavor from the charred bits. Don't be intimidated by the 'burned' look of this. The browned pieces are the best part!
