Ingredients

Cabbage Burgers

  • 1 head of green cabbage, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce (or ketchup)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, Monterey Jack), divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • Oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep Cabbage: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange the cabbage slices in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Lightly brush the cabbage slices with oil, then season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast Cabbage: Roast the seasoned cabbage slices in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. This step precooks the cabbage to avoid overcooking during the next baking phase while ensuring they become tender but still hold their shape.
  3. Prepare Beef Patties: While the cabbage roasts, combine lean ground beef with grated garlic, chopped green onion, parsley, red chili pepper flakes, half of the shredded cheese, and salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly, then divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a beef patty.
  4. Assemble Burgers: Remove the cabbage slices from the oven. Spread about a tablespoon of tomato sauce on each roasted cabbage slice, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Place a beef patty on top, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. This layering adds flavor and helps melt the cheese over the beef.
  5. Bake Assembled Burgers: Return the assembled cabbage burgers to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the beef patties are cooked to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the cabbage burgers with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your hearty and delicious oven-baked cabbage burgers!

Notes

  • You can substitute tomato sauce with ketchup or your favorite burger sauce for added flavor.
  • Adjust red chili flakes according to your preferred spice level or omit for a milder taste.
  • Using lean ground beef keeps the burgers healthier and reduces excess grease.
  • Ensure cabbage slices are cut evenly for even roasting and assembly.
  • Leftover cabbage and beef mixture can be refreshed and baked again within 1-2 days.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley at the end enhances freshness and presentation.
