Crispy Melted Cabbage with Bacon


  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Roasted cabbage wedges with crispy caramelized edges and tender centers, topped with smoky bacon and fresh parsley. This savory oven roasted dish delivers bold flavor, beautiful texture, and comforting simplicity in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head green cabbage, cut into thick wedges
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until just crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess fat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Arrange cabbage wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the seasoned oil mixture evenly over both sides of each cabbage wedge.
  6. Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the cabbage wedges.
  7. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Cut thick cabbage wedges so they hold together during roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crisp edges.
  • Drain bacon well to prevent excess grease on the cabbage.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
