- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss to coat it evenly in the garlic-infused olive oil.
Step 6
Season the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Step 7
Continue to sauté for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your cabbage softer.
Step 8
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
