These Roasted Cabbage Burgers are a delicious low-carb, keto-friendly alternative to traditional burgers! Instead of buns, we use thick roasted cabbage rounds that turn golden, slightly caramelized, and full of flavor. Pair them with a juicy burger patty and your favorite toppings for a satisfying meal! 🍔✨
Ingredients:
For the Cabbage “Buns”
- 1 medium head of green cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
For the Burger Patties
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (or turkey)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)

- 4 tbsp sugar-free ketchup or mustard
- 4 tbsp mayo or garlic aioli
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- Pickles, lettuce, or avocado (optional)
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!
