Description
A nutritious twist on classic burgers, featuring cabbage slices as wholesome, gluten-free buns filled with seasoned meat and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head Cabbage (cut into thick 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
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully cut your cabbage into thick slices, creating beautiful “buns.” Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your choice of ground meat with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and the optional egg.
- Shape the meat mixture into small patties.
- Place the cabbage slices on the baking sheet and nestle your meat patties on top of them. Sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is beautifully melted.
- Once done, let them cool slightly and serve warm.
