1-First, start by preheating your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) to get everything ready for roasting. Slice the 1 head of green cabbage into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on a rimmed sheet pan. Brush the cabbage with oil and season it with salt and pepper, then roast for about 10 minutes until it softens just a bit.

2-While the cabbage roasts, mix 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 salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Form this mixture into four patties that hold together well.

3-Once the cabbage is done precooking, spread 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce or ketchup on each slice and sprinkle on some extra shredded cheese. Place a beef patty on top of each one, add another layer of shredded cheese, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the burgers cook through and the cheese melts nicely. Finish by garnishing with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor the whole process takes about 37 minutes, with 12 minutes prep and 25 minutes cooking.
