Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers are a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional burgers, featuring juicy ground meat patties placed atop tender roasted cabbage slices. This recipe combines ground beef or turkey with aromatic spices and finishes with melted cheese for a deliciously satisfying meal that’s both low-carb and wholesome.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cabbage Base

  • 1 small head Cabbage (cut into thick ½ inch slices)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for brushing)

For the Meat Patties

  • 1 pound Ground Beef or Turkey (or ground chicken or plant-based options)
  • 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 large Egg (optional, for binding)

Topping

  • 1 cup Cheese (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the burger components evenly.
  2. Prepare the Cabbage: Slice the small head of cabbage into thick ½ inch slices. Brush both sides of each slice generously with olive oil to ensure they roast nicely and develop a tender texture.
  3. Mix the Meat: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or turkey with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to blend all flavors. Add the egg if you want better binding of the mixture.
  4. Form Patties on Cabbage: Shape the seasoned meat mixture into patties sized to fit on the cabbage slices. Place each patty directly on top of a cabbage slice, creating a layered burger base.
  5. Bake the Burgers: Transfer the cabbage slices with patties onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
  6. Add Cheese and Broil: Optionally, sprinkle cheese over each patty and switch your oven to broil mode. Broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes slightly golden.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve your cabbage burgers warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with turkey, chicken, or plant-based meat alternatives depending on your preference.
  • The egg is optional but helps the patties hold together better during baking.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more smoked paprika or black pepper if desired for extra flavor.
  • Use a sturdy cabbage variety like green cabbage to ensure slices hold their shape during baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
