Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to cool. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon and set it aside.
3. Place the cabbage wedges the pan with the bacon fat remaining a few at the time and sear until lightly browned on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and browned.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir in the 2/3 of the crumbled bacon.
5. Remove the cabbage wedges from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the bacon ranch dressing over the top of the wedges. Top with extra bacon crumbles. Enjoy!
