Simple 3-Ingredient Baked Cabbage Wedges Recipe Is Side Dish Perfection by 30Seconds Food

Most of us are interested in nutrition and making our diet as healthy as it can be. Vegetables are an important part of a healthy eating plan. Cabbage is one vegetable that may be overlooked at dinnertime. But the health benefits of cabbage cannot be denied! Cabbage is a nutritional powerhouse that's loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber, which many of us do not get enough of daily. Cabbage may also help with our digestive system, improve heart health and help with inflammation.

Here is a simple three-ingredient roasted cabbage recipe with only healthy ingredients: cabbage, olive oil and lemon. (Olive oil and lemon come to the table with health benefits, too!) The cabbage is brushed with the olive oil, seasoned with salt and black pepper (black pepper has health benefits, too), drizzled with fresh lemon juice and baked until tender. So simple!

Serve this cabbage side dish with whatever protein you enjoy. Keep it vegetarian by serving it with crispy tofu.
