Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Large head cabbage
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil, divided
• 1 Whole apple, sliced
• 4 Ounces (oz) blue cheese, crumbled
• 4 Ounces (oz) bacon, cooked
• Aluminum foil

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2. Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, leaving the core intact to hold the leaves together during grilling.
3. Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil. Place the cabbage wedges on the foil, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cabbage wedges. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. If using, add apple slices around the cabbage wedges for a hint of sweetness.
6. Wrap the foil tightly around the cabbage and apple slices, creating a sealed packet.
7. Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
8. For a smoky char, carefully remove the cabbage wedges from the foil and place them directly on the greased grill grates. Sear for about 1 minute on each side.
9. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. If desired, top with crumbled blue cheese and bacon bits for added flavor.
10. Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement your favorite grilled meats or vegetarian mains.
