Elevate your vegetable side dishes with this incredibly flavorful Sugar-Free Roasted Red Cabbage recipe! Perfectly caramelized in the oven, this vibrant dish combines the natural sweetness of red cabbage with a savory blend of garlic powder, onion powder, fresh thyme, and a splash of balsamic vinegar for a subtle tang. Quick to prepare in just 15 minutes and roasted to perfection in under an hour, this nutritious, low-carb recipe delivers a crisp, tender texture and irresistible smoky flavors. With no added sugar and a beautiful deep-purple hue, these seasoned cabbage wedges are a healthy, gluten-free option that pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled protein, or hearty vegan mains.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half through the core, then cut each half into wedges, around 1 inch thick.
Arrange the cabbage wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Brush the cabbage wedges with the oil and vinegar mixture, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
In another small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the cabbage wedges.
Roast the cabbage in the preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
