Slow Cooker Cabbage Wedges with 3 Ingredients

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 1 medium green cabbage, cut into 6–8 wedges (keep core attached so wedges hold)
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup butter (cut into small pats, or use ghee for richness)
• ¼ cup brown sugar (or maple syrup for a sweeter twist)

Optional:

• Salt and black pepper to taste
• A few slices of bacon for smoky flavor
• A pinch of red pepper flakes for mild heat

 Step 1: Prep the Cabbage

1. Remove outer leaves if wilted.
2. Cut cabbage into wedges, leaving the core intact to hold each wedge together.
3. Optional: season lightly with salt and pepper.

 Step 2: Arrange in Slow Cooker

1. Place cabbage wedges upright in the slow cooker.
2. Pour broth around wedges (not over the top — keeps butter on top).
3. Scatter butter over each wedge.
4. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly.

 Step 3: Slow Cook

• Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours.
• Cabbage should be tender, slightly caramelized, and infused with the buttery-sweet flavor.

 Step 4: Serve

• Use a spatula to gently remove wedges.
• Spoon some of the buttery-sweet liquid from the bottom over the top.
• Optional: sprinkle with fresh parsley or drizzle a little extra butter.
