Burger Patties

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or turkey)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1️⃣ Roast the Cabbage “Buns”

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Slice cabbage into 1-inch thick rounds (like burger buns).
• Brush with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.

2️⃣ Make the Burger Patties

• In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and parmesan.
• Shape into 4 burger patties.
• Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side (or to your preferred doneness).
• Add cheese on top during the last minute to melt.

3️⃣ Assemble the Burgers

• Place a roasted cabbage round as the bottom “bun.”
• Add the burger patty, toppings, and sauces of your choice.
• Top with another cabbage round and serve warm!

💡 Pro Tip: Want extra crunch? Air-fry the cabbage at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes instead of roasting!
