Roasted Purple Cabbage

This is a colorful, delicious, flavor-packed veggie side!

Roasted Purple Cabbage

1 head of purple cabbage, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 of an onion, coarsely sliced

garlic powder

smoked paprika

chili powder

cinnamon

olive oil

sesame oil

coarse salt

pepper

optional garnish: Greek yogurt or (vegan) sour cream plus chili crisp

Spread the chopped cabbage and onion out onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle and drizzle the whole sheet with all other ingredients—you’ll be fine without measurements! For the spices, just give an all-over dusting of each. Add more of whatever you like (I suggest extra garlic and a lighter dusting of cinnamon). Drizzle generously with olive oil (at least 3 tablespoon) and a lighter sprinkle of sesame oil (approx 1 tablespoon). Toss a bit before putting it in the oven.

Roast at 450° F for about 30 minutes, turning/tossing half way through. You’ll know it’s done when some of the leaves are crispy and browned (but not burnt – see photo below).

Enjoy by itself or top with Greek yogurt and chili crisp. (You can also use sour cream, or non-dairy sour cream. I love Trader Joe’s chili crisp that comes in a small glass jar).

*TIP: This is best enjoyed right out of the oven as it loses crispiness as it cools.

Enjoy!

450F for 30 minutes…This is how it looks when it’s ready to come out of the oven.

This is delicious and I could eat half a sheet pan. Enjoy!

Gnocchi & Cauliflower Casserole

Lately, I have been loving the Gnocchi Cauliflower Casserole from The Forest Feast Mediterranean book. It's great to feed a crowd and comes together very quickly with few ingredients. It's veggie-packed comfort food, and can be a great alternative to lasagna. Perfect for cold weather entertaining or even just a weeknight.

Summer Entertaining Recipes

We love hosting summer dinners on the deck and I’m always looking for dishes that can be made ahead and served at room temperature. Here are my go-tos:

Peach Caprese (similar to the Nectarine Caprese in The Forest Feast)

Sesame Farro Salad (from The Forest Feast Gatherings)

Roasted Potato + Greenbean Salad (from The Forest Feast Gatherings)

BBQ Corn Salad (from The Forest Feast Road Trip)

Happy cooking!
