Bacon + Cabbage = True Love

Bacon + Cabbage! I am pretty sure bacon + anything = true love, but when bacon meets cabbage, sparks fly!

The smell from the oven is proof that they were “MFEO“. The addition of sweet onion, parmesan and bacon during make this a recipe you will want to hang on to. Roasting cabbage in the oven is a great way to prepare this veggie. The typical strong, peppery flavor of raw cabbage transforms into sweet & mellow deliciousness and all of the nutrients are preserved.

Bacon + Cabbage Scoop ::

My favorite part of the roasted cabbage? It’s a little secret that only the cook gets to know, the dark brown and black crispy pieces. No, they aren’t a mistake of over cooking – they are intentional and heavenly, for real. Why is it a secret only the cook gets to know? Well, at least in my house, the cook ((me)) plates the food and somehow, my plate has a bit more black bits than everyone else’s, hmm.  

Sweet, salt, smoke and crunch … could you ask for anything more from a cabbage?? I hope you enjoy the simple but flavor-packed side dish as much as (most of) my family does!

A special thank you to my friend Jannine for sending me the Trader Joe’s Everyday seasoning! It is her favorite pantry staple and I can sure see why – it was so good. I love the flavor explosion of herbs and spices it adds the cabbage. Thanks again Jannine, I have been missing out and didn’t even know it! ♥
