Notes
TIPS FOR MAKING EASY BAKED CABBAGE
- Cut the cabbage evenly. Make sure that you cut the cabbage leaves into similar sizes so that the shreds cook evenly. If some are small and some are large, you’ll land up with a mixture of hard and limp shreds.
- Mix everything well before baking. With the melted butter acting as the glue for the spice mix, make sure you mix the ingredients thoroughly for an even coating of seasoning. This will ensure that each bite tastes just right.
- Serve warm. This baked cabbage tastes best warm. Once it cools, the butter may solidify a little, so serve it right out of the oven or warm it before serving leftovers.
HOW TO STORE BAKED CABBAGE
To store this Baked Cabbage, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to 5 days. If you want to store it long-term, then you can also freeze it for up to 12 months in a ziplock freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm it in the oven when you are ready to serve.
