Tkake them out of the steamer, put in a bowl, and hit them with a shot of lemon juice. Fantastic flavour!

i find that cabbage and brussel sprouts benefit from a minute of boiling..
it reduces gas.
and makes it tender..
but it is also important to drain them well after the boiling..
I've never roasted cabbage but have roasted a lot of Brussel Sprouts. LOL so much that I have grown tired of roasting them and am back to steaming or just plain boiling them.
Edit:
If I am steaming my vegies, as Sweetbun, has suggested, I add beef/chicken/vegetable paste or a cube to the water. Save the water for a soup or gravy, etc.
But most importantly I slather butter all over the vegies to serve!

i prefer oil. it is very tasty, not dangerous for the health for many people and easy to use..
especially if you make veggies daily and you don't want to bother your self too much
Oil isn't necessarily any more healthy than butter. It depends on the type of oil. Butter is actually quite a healthy fat.

i think that my nutritionist will not like the idea of using butter in replacement for canola oil..
You should ask and also ask why. I would certainly choose butter rather than canola oil, even when just looking at the health aspects. I can imagine using EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) as a healthy choice.
