- Cook the cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Sauté for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage has softened and develops a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Season and serve: Season your sautéed cabbage with kosher salt and ground black pepper, tossing everything to combine thoroughly. Serve hot.
