1-Getting started with roasted cabbage burgers is straightforward and fun, beginning with preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). First, take 1 head of green cabbage and cut it into 1-inch slices, then brush each slice with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Roast these slices for about 10 minutes until they start to soften and char a bit.

2-While the cabbage roasts, mix up the patties by combining 1 pound of lean ground beef with 1 teaspoon grated garlic, 1/2 cup chopped green onion, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, 1/4 cup shredded cheese (either mozzarella or Monterey Jack), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Form this mixture into four patties and set them aside.

3-Once the cabbage is ready, remove it from the oven and top each slice with 1 tablespoon tomato sauce or ketchup, a sprinkle of the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese, one beef patty, and another layer of shredded cheese. Pop them back in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the patties are cooked through and the cheese melts into a bubbly topping. Finish by garnishing with fresh herbs before serving this recipe serves 4 and is ready in no time.

4-For the first step, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Rinse and core the cabbage, then chop it finely to create the base texture suitable for roasting.

5-Next, in a large bowl, combine the blanched cabbage, cooked quinoa, chopped onions, garlic, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, soy sauce or tamari, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is cohesive enough to form patties, adapting as needed for different dietary preferences.

6-Shaping and Roasting the Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with oil to encourage browning.

7-Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve even crispiness and a golden finish. Check for firmness and let them cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings for the best texture.
