FAQ
Q: Can I make these ahead of time?
A: Yes! Assemble the rolls, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Q: Can I freeze the rolls?
A: Absolutely. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 15–20 minutes to the cooking time.
Q: Can I use pre-shredded cabbage?
A: Large leaves work best for rolling. Pre-shredded cabbage is better suited for casseroles or stir-fries.
These Italian-style stuffed cabbage rolls are perfect for family dinners, special occasions, or meal prep, offering the heartiness of comfort food with a Mediterranean flavor twist.
