Oven Roasted Cabbage Rounds

This is our favorite way to eat cabbage.  It is amazing when oven roasted like this.  You can add garlic, or red pepper flakes or any of your favorite seasonings, but I love it plain with salt and pepper with the subtle bacon-y flavor giving a perfect compliment to the sweetness of the cabbage.  This really is delicious!


1 small head of cabbage
2 tablespoons bacon grease, or other fat
salt
ground black pepper

1. Remove core and loose outer leaves from cabbage

2. Slice cabbage into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

3. Spread some bacon grease on the bottom of a cookie sheet. 

4. Place cabbage rounds on the sheet, dot each with more bacon grease and sprinkle with salt and                     pepper. 

5. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or so until cabbage is tender and outer edges are crispy,               flipping with a large spatula half way through cooking time. 

Serves 4 to 6
