This is another cabbage recipe you must try! Any roasted vegetable is delicious, but with this infused garlic-lemon oil, it takes roasting to another level of flavor.
Many people tell me that some of the recipes on my blog are not “easy.” I think it depends on the recipe and I try to give you a heads up if it may not be so simple. This recipe has to be number one in the uncomplicated department. Read it through. It just does not get any easier than this! `
This cabbage recipe demands virtually no effort, yet is bursting with flavor. I infused the olive oil with garlic to ensure that the garlic would not burn when I roasted it. You really don’t have to. I have made plenty of roasted vegetables with chopped garlic and I never had any problem with it burning. I just wanted to see if the garlic-infused olive oil packed the same punch. I was not disappointed. This is a wonderful, pleasant way of making cabbage.
There is just no reason not to make this recipe. You will get about 3-4 servings, and even if you don’t like cabbage, this one may just make a cabbage-lover out of you!
