Oven-Roasted Carrot & Cabbage Sheet Pan with Lime-Cilantro Drizzle

A cozy, weeknight sheet-pan dinner that leans into Texas late-winter produce: carrots, cabbage, and citrus. Roasted carrots get caramelized; cabbage turns sweet at the edges; everything gets finished with a bright lime-cilantro drizzle.

Ingredients

  • Simple Truth Organic® Whole Carrots Bag, 2 lb ~3/4 lb carrots (about 4–5 medium) $2.79
  • Green Cabbage ~3/4 lb (about 6 cups chopped) $0.89/lb
  • Jumbo Sweet Onions 1/2 onion, thick slices $1.39/lb
  • Organic Fresh Green Bell Pepper (or any bell pepper) 1 pepper, sliced $1.29
  • Fresh Organic Limes - Each 2 limes $0.99
  • Organic Cilantro 1/2 bunch (about 1/3 cup chopped) $1.19
  • Spice World® Fresh Diced Garlic, 5 oz 1 tbsp $3.49
  • Neutral oil (pantry) 2–3 tbsp
  • Smoked paprika (pantry) 1 tsp
  • Ground cumin (pantry) 1/2 tsp
  • Kosher salt + black pepper (pantry) to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan.
  2. Prep veg: slice carrots into sticks; chop cabbage into 2-inch pieces; slice onion and bell pepper.
  3. Roast: toss all veg with 2–3 tbsp oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  4. Bake 22–30 minutes, tossing once halfway, until carrots are tender and cabbage has browned edges.
  5. Make drizzle: mix juice of 2 limes with 1 tbsp diced garlic, chopped cilantro, pinch of salt, and 1 tbsp oil (optional).
  6. Serve: spoon lime-cilantro drizzle over hot roasted vegetables.

Health notes: High-fiber, veg-forward. Add beans or chickpeas (pantry) for extra protein. Keep oil modest for a lighter plate.

Drink pairing: Citrusy, roasted-veg dishes pair well with crisp whites or dry rosé. Wine styles (pick 1): - Sauvignon Blanc - Grüner Veltliner - Dry Rosé

Stove Ginger-Garlic Veggie Stir-Fry (Cabbage, Carrot, Bok Choy)

  2. Heat a large skillet/wok on medium-high. Add 1 tbsp oil.
  3. Sauté carrots 2 minutes, then add cabbage; cook 3–4 minutes until slightly softened with some browned edges.
  4. Push veg to the side; add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add ginger and garlic; stir 20 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add bok choy stems first 1 minute, then leaves 1 minute.
  6. Pour in sauce and toss 1–2 minutes until glossy and thickened. Stir in green onions.
  7. Serve hot (great over rice or noodles if you have them).

Health notes: Very high veggie volume and fiber. Add edamame/tofu (not in sale list) or a handful of nuts (pantry) for more protein/healthy fats.

Drink pairing: Aromatic stir-fries love crisp whites with acidity. Wine styles (pick 1): - Riesling (dry or off-dry) - Gewürztraminer (dry) - Sauvignon Blanc

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with Pineapple-Lime Cilantro Salsa

Grill-marked cauliflower “steaks” with a bright pineapple-lime salsa. Pineapple is on sale; citrus is in-season in Texas now—so the flavors pop without heavy sauces.

Ingredients

  • Organic Cauliflower, 1 ct 1 head $3.99
  • Fresh Ripe Whole Pineapple, 1 ct ~1 1/2 cups diced pineapple $2.99 sale (reg $3.49)

  • Smoked paprika (pantry) 1 tsp
  • Ground cumin (pantry) 1/2 tsp
  • Kosher salt + black pepper (pantry) to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep cauliflower: trim leaves. Slice cauliflower into 2 thick “steaks” (about 3/4–1 inch). Reserve loose florets for another use.
  2. Season: brush both sides with oil. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat grill to medium-high; oil grates.
  4. Grill cauliflower: cook 5–7 minutes per side, moving carefully, until well-marked and tender (close lid if possible to help cook through).
  5. Make salsa: combine diced pineapple, diced onion, chopped cilantro, 1 tbsp garlic, lime juice (start with 1 lime, add more to taste), jalapeño (optional), and a pinch of salt.
  6. Serve: top grilled cauliflower steaks with pineapple-lime salsa. Add extra lime wedges from the second lime.

Health notes: Veg-forward and lighter. If you want it more filling, add potatoes on the side (from your list) or a can of beans (pantry).

Drink pairing: Tropical-acid salsa pairs nicely with crisp whites or dry rosé. Wine styles (pick 1): - Albariño - Sauvignon Blanc - Dry Rosé
