Roasted Cabbage Wedge Salad

If you are looking for a simple, yet flavorful side dish? You will love this roasted cabbage.

original recipe from: Rachel Ray Every Day; October 2019

What’s better than cooking with friends? I can’t think of anything. Do you have time for a short story?

As a single empty nester, my girl friends are very important to me. One of my good friends recently moved from Oklahoma to Texas and to say that I was sad is an understatement. I have a handful of really good friends that will always be apart of my life….no matter where we live. T is one of those people. We will call her T and her we will also call her husband T (T&T)…..just for the purpose of this story.

A few weeks ago, I was honored to visit them in their new home in Texas.

First of all T&T are the best and cutest couple EVER. AND…they both are cooks. Amazing cooks. So I was in heaven cooking along side of them and not to mention they have a very open and spacious kitchen.

The first night I was there, T and I were in charge of making the side dishes for dinner. Her husband grilled the meat. On the menu for that night:

  • steak

  • salmon

  • cabbage wedges

  • asparagus

  • and wine, of course

She showed me a recipe for roasted cabbage and I knew I would love it. It was so simple, yet so full of flavor.

The only change I made to this recipe - I used more dill.

I hope you enjoy this super simple and tasty side dish.
