I love simplicity. I believe food in its simplest form doesn’t need much to coax out its deliciousness. I’ve often posted here on “Taste Arkansas” about how grilling fruits to bring out tasty nuances or how just a few perfect additions of spices bring out the BAM! in a dish.
Cabbage is like that. It’s one of those perfect vegetables that require just a little fat (butter or olive oil), heat and salt and pepper to create a great side dish. Add a few extra spices and ingredients and oven-roast it on a sheet pan and enjoy.
