Ingredients:
1 head green cabbage, cut into 1-inch slices (about 4 rounds)
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 flakes (optional, for heat)
1 tsp grated garlic
½ cup chopped green onion
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing cabbage)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the cabbage base: Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange cabbage slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
2. Make the burger patties: In a large bowl, mix ground beef with garlic, green onion, parsley, red chili flakes, half the cheese, salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
3. Assemble the cabbage burgers: Top each cabbage slice with 1 tbsp tomato sauce, a beef patty, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
4. Bake & serve: Return to oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until patties are fully cooked and cheese is melted. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy cabbage burger alternative!
