Roasted Napa Cabbage

Submitted by Hey Jude

"This is a great, easy side dish to just about anything...chicken, pork, etc. The roasting carmelizes the sugar in the cabbage and develops a rich deep flavor. Adapted from 'The Everything Cooking for Two Cookbook'."

Another excellent vegetable to roast. Don't be afraid to let it brown a little. It adds flavor. Just keep an eye on it as it will shrivel to nothing quickly. I used 1/2 olive oil, 1/2 vegetable oi and will probably cut the recommended amount in 1/2 next time. Asparagus, cauliflower and brussels sprouts are also exellent prepared this way.

Easy recipe and I do like roasting vegetables. Only addition for me is a little acidity at the end. A little bit of balsamic vinegar tossed in.

I chopped the cabbage into pieces as if it were going to be in a salad and mixed it with the ingredients (including the garlic) specified in the recipe, but lowered the temperature to 400 degrees. It cooked in an oven-proof skillet and was delicious as well as easy to serve because it was pre-cut.
