    Baked Cabbage

    Tired of boiled cabbage that has no flavor? Boiled cabbage gets a bad rap on Saint Patrick's Day, especially when it gets compared to the flavorful corned beef and oh-so buttery potatoes that are on the same plate.

    Enter Baked Cabbage With Bacon!

    Everyone's Irish on Saint Patrick's Day and everyone will want to be Irish when they taste this easy oven roasted cabbage recipe! 

    So forget the boiled cabbage. This year will be different with our baked cabbage wedges! An easy side dish for your corned beef dinner.

    Wedges of cabbage are brushed with olive oil and lightly seasoned with garlic powder, kosher salt and pepper. These wedges roast to tender perfection in the oven.

    Finish off the roasted cabbage wedges with a sprinkling of crumbled crispy bacon and fresh parsley leaves and we are talking a whole lotta deliciousness.

    Prefer a healthier alternative to bacon? Turkey bacon will taste delicious too!

    I’ve also added a chopped apple to the cabbage wedges. A Granny Smith apple will add sweet and tart notes and a red apple, such as a Gala apple, will add lots of sweetness to the recipe.

    Sliced carrots will add a colorful note and sweet flavor too.

    Move over corned beef and potatoes and make some room on the plate because Baked Cabbage With Bacon is here!
