Steam-Roasted Cabbage and Onions

This roast cabbage and onion side dish is amazing with corned beef, chicken, or straight out of the fridge. It’s quick, easy, and only requires six ingredients — including salt! After just 25 minutes in the Anova Precision Oven, the onions caramelize and some of the cabbage begins to char while a few larger pieces retain their structural integrity. The end result is slightly sweet, salty, and bitter — in a very good way.

2. Combine Ingredients

Combine the chopped cabbage and onion in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and oil. Add the soy sauce mixture to the vegetables and toss to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan. Sprinkle the top with kosher salt. (You can also do all of this directly on the sheet pan but it gets a little messy.)

Made this today and it was tasty! So easy too. Also added some bacon after and it tasted great too but it stands perfectly delicious as is.

I made it according to the recipe. It was WAY too salty for our taste. If you are on a reduced sodium diet, you might want to give this one a pass.

This is a fantastic method to cook cabbage. Much better than in a skillet. I made a tadka with ghee and Indian spices and tossed that with the cabbage before cooking.
