06 - Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan, which means youre cleaning one dish instead of five.
  • The cabbage soaks up all the smoky drippings and turns sweet and golden at the edges.
  • It tastes like youve been cooking all day, but youve barely lifted a finger.
02 -
  • Dont skip covering the pan with foil in the first part or your potatoes will stay hard and your cabbage will burn.
  • Stir gently after removing the foil, the vegetables are tender and will fall apart if you're too rough.
03 -
  • Use a pan large enough that everything sits in a single layer, crowding will steam instead of roast.
  • Let the dish rest for five minutes after it comes out of the oven, the flavors settle and the juices redistribute perfectly.
