Ingredients:

  • 1 head of green cabbage, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 pounds of lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 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

Instructions:

  1. To make the roasted cabbage burgers: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange the cabbage slices on a rimmed sheet pan. Brush a little oil on the cabbage slices and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the cabbage slices in the oven for about 10 minutes so they get precooked - giving you a headstart to avoid overcooking the beef patties afterward.
  3. In the meantime: In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef with garlic, green onion, parsley, red chili pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into four beef patties.
  4. Remove cabbage from the oven, then spread a tablespoon of tomato sauce on top.
  5. Bake the cabbage beef burgers in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the burgers are done to your liking. Sprinkle the baked cabbage burgers with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
