Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Red Cabbage
This sweet and savory side dish was a hit on Sarah’s Halloween table. It’s an easy way to devour cabbage, even if cabbage is not your thing!
Ingredient: Cabbage
Cabbage- (Brassica)
- Description
Cabbage comes in red or green shades with tightly layered leaves
- Preparation
Cabbage can be served raw in salads or slaw, boiled, braised, stewed, steamed, stir fry, or stuffed. It is a very versatile vegetable.
- Varieties
Red cabbage (see photo below)
Green Cabbage (see photo above)
Chinese cabbage- This more delicate cabbage needs less cooking time can be grilled or used in salads
Savoy cabbage- The “pretty” cabbage with crinkly textured leaves, also nice to use as an edible garnish on you dishes.
- Storage
Store your cabbage in the refrigerator in a lightly sealed plastic bag for 1-2 weeks. If the cabbage is already sliced it will last in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. For longer storage, cabbage does well in a root cellar (aka fancy name for a cool, dark place… Jess uses a plastic crate in her basement.)
- Nutrition
Vitamin C, K, B6 and folate
Sauerkraut is a fast an easy way to use cabbage and keep it tasty for even longer! (Well, the prep is easy, but it takes about a week or so before it gets good). 
Jess made this sauerkraut with crabapples and caraway, it was pretty great!
Recipes Using Cabbage
Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Bacon
This idea came from Fellow Springdellian Susan MacDowell a few seasons back. If things are drying out while roasting, I just drizzle a little chicken stock over things. This makes sweet and flavorful cabbage!
Rotkohl
This is a sweet and tangy is dish is similar to sauerkraut, but not so much that a sauerkraut loather can’t appreciate it. Paired with kielbasa or sausage, this is an awesome and colorful addition to the dinner table. I made and froze a bunch, and whenever sausages come in the meat share, I am so excited to thaw and enjoy some!
