Description
Enjoy these hearty, cheesy cabbage burgers as a low-carb twist on the classic beef patty, featuring savory seasoned beef tucked into roasted cabbage buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium cabbage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Olive oil (for roasting and sautéing)
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the cabbage by slicing it into 1–1½-inch thick rounds or peeling away large outer leaves.
- Brush both sides of the cabbage lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 minutes.
- While the cabbage roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned.
- Stir in 1 cup of marinara sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the roasted cabbage from the oven and spoon the beef mixture onto each cabbage round.
- Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Let cool for a couple of minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
