Best Foil Wrapped Cabbage Recipes

FOIL BAKED CABBAGE RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Oven to 425ºF. Start with a whole head of cabbage and remove a couple of the outer layers. Rinse the head as best you can. Then cut off the stem part of the cabbage and quarter the cabbage. Tear off 4 pieces of foil that are long enough to cover and seal in each wedge of cabbage completely. Place each wedge on its own piece of foil and create a pouch. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of salted butter or butter substitute in each pouch. Mince 2 cloves of garlic, more if you like it more garlicky) and put about a half a clove in each pouch. If you are using pre-minced garlic, I would say about 1 to 2 teaspoons in each pouch. Salt and pepper the cabbage, then roll the foil pouches tightly closed. I place an extra layer around the other way to ensure it was creating an adequate steaming pocket. Place on a baking sheet and leave in the oven for approximately 1 hour or until cabbage is nice and tender. Remove from oven, add additional salt or pepper to taste and enjoy.

BONUS RECIPE: DO THE CABBAGE PACK!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Carefully remove the tough core from the cabbage using a sharp knife. Slice the cabbage half into 4 thin wedges. Halve each wedge, leaving you with 8 "chunks."
• Lay a large piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet and spray with nonstick spray. Spread the cabbage out in the center, and top with onion. Add butter in four evenly spaced dollops over the onion. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Top with bacon and garlic.
• Place another large piece of foil over the veggies. Fold together and seal all four edges of the two foil pieces, forming a well-sealed packet.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the veggies are soft.
• Let it cool slightly. Using oven mitts, carefully flip the packet over, allowing the butter mixture to coat the veggies, and then return to right-side-up. Cut the packet to release steam before opening it entirely. (Careful - steam will be hot.) If you like, season with additional salt, pepper, and paprika, to taste. Mmmmm!
