Traditional German vegetable recipes can range from the very healthy to those heavily loaded with butter, bacon, and cream and overcooked as well. Even though I'd usually be careful to limit the fats, sometimes, just sometimes, a traditional taste wins out.
For example, several Brussel Sprouts recipes rely heavily on butter and cream, but they can be adjusted into a healthier version with extra seasonings.
Pictured above is another delicious side dish Baked Cherry Tomatoes - just make sure you let them cool before serving to emphasize their sweetness.
Favorites in our household also include cauliflower, mushrooms, Savoy cabbage, kale (pictured below, right), carrots, and sauerkraut. Oven roasted butternut squash (pictured above) is another delicious treat that the grandkids love.
However, the all time favorite, pictured above left, is the Red Cabbage recipe. This always brings smiles to my family's faces. This German cabbage recipe as well as many others are sure to please even the finickiest eater in your family.
