This Southern Fried Cabbage recipe is the perfect side for your New Year’s menu because it not only tastes delicious but it is very easy to prepare. I decided to take this dish to another level by adding some homemade Coconut Bacon.
I’m crazy about cabbage and I love to include it in my meal planning, it is not only nutritious but it is very economical and versatile, check out my Detox Cabbage Soup, Jamaican Steamed Cabbage, Curry Cabbage, and Roasted Cabbage Steaks recipes.
For many people who are transitioning to a vegan diet this New Year,
I wanted to help make this transition as easy as possible with the same familiar tastes and textures and for them to see that it is quite easy to remain a vegan with all these delicious recipes that you won’t even miss the meat.
They are all so flavorful and will be a big hit when you serve these recipes to your family and friends.
How To Make Fried Cabbage

- Stir in the cabbage, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Add vegetable broth, cover and allow to cook for 10 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
- Stir in coconut bacon and serve.
What To Serve With Your Vegan Southern Fried Cabbage?
My vegan Southern fried cabbage turned out amazing and I served it with my Southern Black-Eyed Peas and Corn Muffins, what a mouthwatering treat it was. Most traditional recipes use Cajun seasoning,
I basically made my own blend with a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and thyme.
Cabbage has lots of nutrients, it is high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Check out the amazing health benefits of cabbage!

Notes
Absolutely love this recipe and have done it many times now….Thank you!!
I sometimes add some sliced potato to the onion and garlic mix and brown a little before adding the cabbage.
Annette, I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your adjustments with us.
I needed to use up some cabbage and this recipe did the trick and more. It’s super tasty and came together quickly and easily, which I was also looking for. I’m eating it as I type this :-). Thank you, Michelle!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it AnnMarie
Found this to be a good change from traditional cabbage rolls on New Years and much easier. Anxious to try the coconut “bacon”.
Sherry thank you, I also have tofu and eggplant bacon recipes.
Delicious and very easy to make. I made the cabbage without the coconut vegan bacon. I don’t like coconut but I am willing to try the coconut bacon recipe at a later time.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Karen
Would purple cabbage work??
I had problems finding the coconut bacon and substituted it with vegan bacon. Otherwise the recipe is easy to make and taste very good. I recommend it to anyone.
Richard, I understand. Yes, any vegan bacon makes a good substitute. I’m happy you love it, thank you for your recommendation and feedback.
