How To Make Sautéed Cabbage And Carrots
First prep the carrots. Peel them and cut into 2-3 pieces.
Place the shredding disk in your food processor. Add the carrot pieces one-by-one until they are all shredded.
Wash a small head of cabbage and remove the outer leaves. Slice cabbage head in half. (You will only be using one half of the head) Cut leaves away from the core. Discard core and add cabbage leaf sections to the food processor.
Once all the veggies have been shredded, it’s time to cook. Add oil and vegetables to a frying pan and turn the heat to high.
After the oil starts sizzling, mix up the contents of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium high and cook for 7 minutes or until tender to your liking.
Now it’s time to add the seasonings. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder on cabbage and carrots. Stir to cook the vegetables evenly in seasonings.
Turn off the heat and use a spatula to move the food to a serving bowl or plate. It’s ready to be enjoyed!
