Description
These Sheet Pan Cabbage Burgers are a low-carb twist on the classic burger. Roasted cabbage rounds act as flavorful ‘buns’ topped with juicy beef patties, melted cheddar, and optional Guinness caramelized onions for extra richness.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1.25 lbs ground beef
- 4 slices American cheddar cheese
- Ketchup and pickles, for garnish
- Optional: 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup Guinness
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds. Brush both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and arrange on the sheet pan.
- Roast cabbage for 15 minutes until edges begin to brown.
- Meanwhile, season ground beef with salt and pepper, form into 4 patties slightly larger than the cabbage rounds.
- Remove sheet pan, place a patty on top of each cabbage slice, and return to oven for another 15 minutes or until patties are cooked through.
- Top each burger with a slice of cheddar cheese and bake 2–3 minutes more until melted.
- Optional: For Guinness onions, sauté sliced onions in butter until golden. Add Guinness and simmer until reduced and caramelized.
- Top burgers with ketchup, pickles, and onions before serving.
Notes
- Slice cabbage thick so it holds the patty weight.
- Use parchment for easy cleanup.
- Broil briefly for golden, bubbly cheese.
- Add Dijon mustard or hot sauce for extra flavor.
