Oven-Baked Cabbage Burger
The other night, I prepared these cabbage burgers, and they were a huge hit! Delicious, cheesy, oven-roasted delight that fits perfectly into a low-carb or keto lifestyle—without the buns or the guilt. This is how I went about it:
🛒 What You’ll Need:
1 medium green cabbage (cut into thick slices,0ne inch)
1 lb lean ground beef
½ cup tomato sauce/sugar-free ketchup
½ cup shredded cheese
½ tsp salt & black pepper
½ tsp red chili flakes (for a little kick)
ONE tsp grated garlic
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup fresh chopped parsley
👨🍳 How to Make Them:
Step 1: Prep
Set your oven’s temperature to 400°F, or around 200°C, first. Arrange the pieces of cabbage on a baking sheet (if you like less cleanup, use parchment paper). Drizzle them with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. To slightly soften them, roast them in the oven for ten minutes. They cook more evenly with the meat later on thanks to this process.
Step 2: Beef Mixture
Take out a large mixing dish and start roasting your cabbage. Grated garlic, chopped green onion, parsley, chili flakes, salt, pepper, half of the shredded cheese, and ground meat should all be added. Combine the ingredients and form into four burger patties.
Step 3: Assemble
Remove from the oven the cabbage. Spread a dollop of tomato sauce over each slice. Place a beef burger directly on top of it after adding a little cheese. Add a final little grating of cheese on top of the meat.
Step 4: Bake
Place the tray back in the oven and continue baking for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbling and the beef is cooked through. If you want that cheesy crust, you can broil it for the final one to two minutes.
Step 5: Serve
Remove them, garnish with more parsley if you want to be fancy, and serve hot. They taste fantastic by themselves or served with cauliflower mash or a side of salad.

💡 Bonus Tip:
Feel free to add hot sauce or jalapeños to the meat mixture if you prefer your burgers hotter. If you don’t like beef, you can also use ground chicken or turkey.
