Cabbage is a seriously underrated vegetable. It’s jam-packed with nutrients – including vitamins C and K, as well as fiber, the amino acid glutamine and antioxidants that can help lower your risk of cancer. Plus, it can be cooked in many ways for a delicious side dish.

The following recipes are a must-try in any kitchen. From salads to side dishes to the main dish, there is a recipe here for any occasion.

Low-carb baked cabbage

This recipe calls for baking cabbage under a blanket of sour cream and cheese. You can use any cheese you want in this recipe. I like to use a fairly strong cheese such as Gruyere, but you could substitute something milder such as jack or mozzarella. Serve this alongside roasted or grilled chicken, pork or beef. It’s also the perfect side to go with hearty sausages. Get the full recipe here.
