Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sliced carrots to the skillet, sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions start to soften.
Stir in the diced bell pepper and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to combine with the other vegetables.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes over the mixture. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasoning.
Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a light main with some crusty bread or rice.
