Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Large head cabbage
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 4 Ounces (oz) blue cheese, crumbled
• 4 Ounces (oz) bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 Medium apple, sliced
• 1 Sheet aluminum foil

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the 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, and drizzle with olive oil.
4. Season the wedges on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add apple slices around the cabbage for a hint of sweetness.
5. Wrap the foil tightly around the cabbage and apples, creating a sealed packet.
6. Place the foil packet on the preheated grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
7. For a smokier flavor, carefully remove the cabbage wedges from the foil and sear them directly on the greased grill for about 1 minute on each side.
8. Transfer the grilled cabbage to a serving platter. Top with crumbled blue cheese and bacon bits for a savory finish.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
