Had you ever thought about oven roasted savoy cabbage? I hadn’t. Until I saw this recipe that caught my (strong) curiosity.
I like savoy cabbage very much, but I had only cooked it into soups, or with meat sauce. Never thought about roasting it. But when I saw this recipe on SmittenKitchen, I understood it couldn’t be bad and I decided to give it a try. And I cooked it twice in a week, so much we liked it.
This roasted savoy cabbage is a tasty and quick side dish. It is really difficult it won’t please all, and it is pretty sure there will be no leftovers.
