Delicious Cabbage Recipes to Get the Health Benefits

Cabbage Walnut Salad – This cabbage walnut salad is so filling and delicious. Also, it is high in nutrients with a variety of vegetables and nuts in it which makes it very good for you too. The walnuts, pine nuts, and sesame seeds add a good vegan protein to it.

Warm Winter Crunchy Salad – In the winter salads are not as appealing; we gravitate towards warm foods. Still, some raw foods filled with enzymes and nutrients are good for us. I tend to stay away from the leafy vegetables during this time.This has all the grounding warming foods suitable for winter rather than cooling lettuces.

Borscht Soup with a Difference Is Delicious– Borscht is the best way to get healthy superfood beets filled with beta-carotene and minerals into our diet. And it has lots of cabbage in it too. It is quick to cook, easy to vary, and enjoyed by everyone, even children.

My favourite way to eat cabbage is to bake them into cabbage chips. SO GOOD!
1. Chip them into chunks/wedges.
2. Separate and lay them on a baking sheet.
3. Drizzle with some olive oil, sea/kosher salt and black pepper (garlic powder and cayenne pepper if you’re feeling fancy).
4. Toss them around with your hands and re-lay them flat on the sheet.
5. Bake them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until most get brown and crunchy at the edges. Toss once in between the baking time.
6. Serve as an evening snack or side dish.
Enjoy!
