Ingredients

1 large head cabbage (about 1000 grams)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
for topping: ranch, BBQ sauce, fresh herbs, balsamic dressing...

Instructions

Light grill to medium-high heat and let it come up to temperature.
While the grill heats up, prepare the cabbage. Remove any loose outer leaves. Trim off a small part of the bottom of the cabbage so it can stand up. Be careful not to trim off too much as the stem is what helps it stay together. Standing the cabbage up, slice the cabbage into 3/4-1 inch thick pieces. Drizzle both sides with oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Grill cabbage. Place cabbage directly on the grill grates over direct heat. Grill cabbage for 5-8 minutes, carefully flip, and grill for another 4-6 minutes depending on the thickness. Be careful flipping them as some of the outer leaves may try to loosen and break away from the head. Once done, it should be tender on the inside, but crispy on the outside.
Enjoy! Top with fresh herbs and sauce/condiment of choice and enjoy!
