Cabbage isn’t something I cook with often, other than in an occasional soup. But I’ve been served cooked cabbage a number of times, and I always enjoy it and each time I have it, I tell myself I should use it more.

With the cost of groceries continuing to go up, cabbage is a great option. They keep going on sale at my local grocery stores and cabbage is a filling vegetable. I like to use it as a side, but I think it’s a great, substantial vegetable if you have vegetarians at your table.

I roast a lot of cauliflower using olive oil, salt, and garlic. I also have my go-to recipe for assorted Roasted Vegetables with balsamic, garlic, and basil. I love both, but I wanted to do something a little different with the cabbage. Cabbage on its own is fine, but I think it becomes much more interesting when you add some flavours to it. This recipe uses garlic, honey, paprika and sumac – a delicious combination that works well with cabbage!

If you’re not sure about roasting cabbage, try this. The cabbage is roasted until tender and has lots of flavour.
