Description
Low‑carb, gluten‑free oven‑baked “burgers” served on roasted cabbage slices instead of buns—juicy ground beef patties topped with melted cheese and flavorful seasonings.
Ingredients
- 1 head of green cabbage, cut into 1‑inch slices
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ½ cup tomato sauce (or ketchup)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or Monterey Jack), divided
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp red chili pepper flakes
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- ½ cup chopped green onion
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Arrange cabbage slices on a rimmed sheet pan, brush with oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix ground beef with garlic, green onion, parsley, red pepper flakes, half the cheese, salt, and pepper. Shape into four patties.
- Remove cabbage from oven. On each slice, spread 1 Tbsp tomato sauce, sprinkle a little cheese, then place one beef patty on top, and add remaining cheese.
- Bake for another 10–12 minutes until burgers are cooked and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat covered in oven until warmed through.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, especially if using salted cheese or sauce.
