The idea of slicing cabbage into chunks, smearing olive oil on top of it, and sticking it in the oven seemed rather foreign to me. There just seemed something wrong about it, something that should never be done or something. But I pushed my judgments aside because Martha Stewart usually knows what she’s talking about when it comes to food. If it’s okay with Martha, it’s worth trying.
Even though these two recipes had different cooking times and temperatures, I stuck the cabbage in the oven at the same time I was doing the pork chops. Parts of it came out a little charred, but it was easier than putting the cabbage in for 40 minutes at 400 and then putting the pork in for 30 more minutes at 425.
Most of dinner’s cook time last night involved watching Project Runway, because I had to wait for it to cook.
It was a delicious meal and I’ll definitely do cabbage this way again.

Yummy!
I think most veggies are delicious roasted, so I would try it!
Terrific idea to do the two together. I mostly eat cabbage raw, but I also like veggies roasted so I should try this!
I love roasted vegetables of all kinds and cabbage works beautifully as do all the veggies in that family — cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts.
Roasted vegies are a favorite – I’d give this a try!
Sounds good and easy!
I’ve never done cabbage this way, I’ll have to give it a try. And I agree with you about Martha Stewart recipes – I used to think she was over-the-top fussy (and she probably was at the time), but now when I think of Martha, I think, Oh, well, at least I know it will work.
i’ve done cabbage in wedges a few times before and quite liked it. Nice and simple so the flavour of the cabbage comes through.
