Boiled vegetables are my least favorite way to enjoy them. I don’t love the way they taste and the process of boiling reduces the amount of vitamins in the vegetable because some nutrients are water soluble and dissolve into the water. However, every year for nostalgia I still boil my potatoes and cabbage to accompany my corned beef—until I found this cabbage recipe. Cabbage has a long list of health benefits – its vitamin rich, containing Vitamins A, C and K and also has the ability to lower cholesterol, so I was happy to find a recipe where I could enjoy more of the benefits from cabbage. This recipe is just as easy as boiling but does a better job bringing out the flavor of the cabbage and the caraway seeds are a perfect complement.
Yesterday I posted the easy homemade corned beef. There are two more days of yummy St Patrick’s Day recipes coming your way. If you already have not done so please sign up to subscribe via email in the right hand column and/or follow us on Facebook/Pinterest/Twitter.

i’m all about roasted veggies these days. this sounds great!
Thanks for stopping by! We hope you enjoy the roasted cabbage.
I’m super excited to try this recipe. I love cabbage and roasted veggies!
Thanks Ashley- Enjoy!
I made this a couple of nights ago (with fennel seeds instead of caraway) and I couldn’t believe how delicious it was! It’s like junk food… that’s good for you!
Karen – So glad you tried it! Yes fennel is a great alternative to the caraway.
We love this recipe but I add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to olive oil and and dried rosemary. Rosemary is our favorite spice on roasted onions also
Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds delicious Beckie.
