Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, and remove the core. Shred the cabbage into thin strips.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin matchsticks, or grate them using a box grater.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and finely chop the yellow onion.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat, then add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.
Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots and bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss everything together. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still has a slight crunch.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light, vegetarian main course. Enjoy!
