✨ Ingredients You’ll Need
1 large head of cabbage (remove outer leaves + core it) 4 tbsp butter stuffed inside, 1 tbsp old bay seasoning, 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp Kinder’s Butter Garlic and herb, 1 tbsp kinder’s caramelized onion butter. Heavy-duty foil (don’t skip this part!)
👩🏽‍🍳 Step-by-Step Directions
Prep your cabbage: Peel away the dead outer layers, then cut out the core so you have a little pocket in the center. Butter it up: Stuff 4 tablespoons of butter right inside that pocket (yes, right in the middle). Drizzle the last tablespoon over the top and rub it in like you’re giving the cabbage a butter massage. Season like you mean it: Sprinkle all your spices—onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Cajun, and old bay—over the whole cabbage. Get it into the folds so every bite is seasoned. Wrap & roast: Place the cabbage on a big sheet of foil and wrap it tightly. Pop it in the oven at 385°F for about 2 hours, or until it’s soft, tender, and buttery all the way through. Serve & enjoy: Carefully unwrap it (steam will hit you, so watch out!) and cut into wedges. Serve as a side with chicken, seafood, or even on its own with a little hot sauce.

All delicious recipes
I appreciate it.
I am thinking I could use a Crock pot and forget the aluminum foil.
Yes, you totally can. Good Luck!
Looks delicious!
I’m thinking of baking it for 1.5 hours, uncovering then draping with bacon and continue to bake until bacon is crispy. 🤤
Sounds like a great idea. I might have to give that a try.
