Ninja Foodi Cabbage Recipes

We have a lot of simple cabbage recipes but we will start with the easiest one of all. How to cook a head of Ninja Foodi cabbage and make it taste amazing!

Believe it or not I picked this one right out of my garden, cleaned it off, and popped it in there after cutting it into fourths. It was so good using a few of my go to spices. I used both the pressure cooker and air fryer functions of this fancy machine in order to get the edges crispy like you see here above.

With each bite I dipped the edge in my homemade fry sauce and OH MY!! The entire recipe for this is in the recipe card below. Let us know what you think!

Ninja Foodi Cabbage

Yes if you have another brand of pressure cooker this is how to turn an Instant Pot into an air fryer so you can make this as well. Luckily I have both so I have the ability to have both going at the same time. lol. It’s a bit nutty but that’s me.

• It is rare that I ever use my oven anymore because I have so many air fryer dinner recipes AND it’s hot outside now. Who wants to turn on their oven in the summertime anyway??

For the remaining Ninja Foodi cabbage recipes you’ll want to dice your head into cubes like this. 2″x2″ pieces are usually good. I just kinda’ eyeball it though.

The smaller you cut the cabbage pieces the softer they will get so keep that in mind depending on how “wilty” you like your cabbage leaves.

Can you cook a whole cabbage in Ninja Foodi?

Yes you can and it is delicious because you can pressure cook and then air fry to crisp the edges in the same pot. We show you here how to make pressure cooker whole cabbage without slicing it up at all. At the end you can drizzle some butter over the top and air crisp to get it nice and browned on the top too.

Then we made some Ninja Foodi cabbage and potatoes the other night.  The recipe is below in the photo so you can try it too. It was a nice side dish that you can just throw together. Very little measuring is required. I used small potatoes with different colors just to make it fun but you could use just about any variety.

Here are 3 others you might enjoy before we round out our list of favorites.

How do you cook cabbage without making it soggy?

Timing is everything, especially when cooking it with meat like our Ninja Foodi corned beef and cabbage. It’s not just a St. Patrick’s Day dinner you know. This turns out so good we probably make it 3 times a year just because. You do leave the large cabbage leaves whole for this, and not put in until the very end so it doesn’t get too soft. 

What liquid should you use to steam cabbage?

Beer, broth or water can be used for the liquid but I HIGHLY suggest you use beer. I am not a beer fan myself generally BUT it lends so much flavor to this meal that it is a must in our house. Ingredients for this easy cabbage recipe.

• 2.5 – 3 lb. corned beef brisket
  • and the spice packet that comes with it
• 12 oz. beer
• 4 large red potatoes or 2 large russet cut in half
• 1 onion
• 1/2 head of cabbage, we will use the large leaves on the outside

On high pressure it takes a fraction of time vs. the traditional oven method.
