We’ve got a healthy twist to add to your St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Include this nutritious, easy Oven-Roasted Cabbage & Carrots veggie side dish to your meal today!
Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant. Carrots contain another antioxidant called beta-carotene, which is a form of vitamin A. Adding this side dish to your meal will help you increase your fiber intake, providing 3 grams of dietary fiber per ½ cup serving that will aid in good digestion.
Carrots have a natural sweetness that is enhanced with roasting, so you do not need to add a ton of seasoning for a tasty dish. If you don’t have paprika, try cumin or another favorite spice.
