Roasted Cabbage Wedges

Great on Grill or Oven Roasted

Cook time: 20 Min Prep time: 10 Min Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin

3 Tbsp real bacon bits

2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 medium head of cabbage

Directions

1. Preheat the oven (or the grill) to 425 degrees.

2. Mix the olive oil, bacon bits, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to make the marinade.

3. Prepare the cabbage. Rinse it under water and remove any yucky loose leaves.

4. Cut the head in half on the core.. Then cut the halves in half again…to make quarters.

5. Lay each wedge on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it up in. Spoon about 2 tbsp of the marinade on top making sure to get it in all the nooks and crannies.

6. Wrap each wedge and bake or Grill for 20-30 minutes. I say 20-30 becuase they will continue to cook once you pull them out and I like mine still crunchy. So I let them sit for a little while pull them out around the 20 minute mark. However, some in the comments have cooked them up to an hour for softer cabbage.

7. The wedges reheat wonderfully in the oven or the microwave!
