Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers offer a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional buns by using thick cabbage slices as the base. These savory burgers combine ground meat with aromatic spices and are baked to perfection, topped with melted cheese for an indulgent yet nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Cabbage Burgers

  • 1 small head Cabbage (cut into thick ½ inch slices)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for brushing)
  • 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)
  • 1 cup Cheese (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so that it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the burgers evenly.
  2. Prepare the cabbage slices: Slice a small head of cabbage into thick ½ inch rounds. Brush both sides generously with olive oil to help them roast tenderly and develop a nice golden color.
  3. Mix the burger filling: In a large bowl, combine ground beef or turkey with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon. Add the egg if using, to help bind the mixture.
  4. Form patties and assemble: Shape the meat mixture into patties sized to fit the cabbage slices. Place each patty on top of a cabbage slice, creating a burger base from the cabbage.
  5. Bake the burgers: Arrange the cabbage burgers on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked through.
  6. Add cheese and broil: If desired, sprinkle cheese on top of the burgers. Switch the oven to broil and place the burgers under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Serve and garnish: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley or your favorite herbs for an extra pop of freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with turkey, chicken, or even plant-based ground meat for a different flavor or dietary preference.
  • The egg is optional but helps to bind the patties, especially if using leaner meats.
  • Brushing cabbage slices with olive oil helps prevent them from drying out during baking.
  • Broiling cheese on top adds a nice golden, melty finish but can be skipped if preferred.
  • Feel free to customize seasonings to taste, such as adding chili flakes or herbs.
  • Pairs well with a fresh side salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
