How to Serve Mediterranean Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers

These cabbage burgers are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can enjoy them on their own or place them in a bun like a traditional burger. Top them with your favorite sauces, such as hummus, tzatziki, or a simple yogurt sauce. Add fresh vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, or cucumbers for an extra crunch!

How to Store Mediterranean Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers

To store leftover cabbage burgers, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just wrap each burger in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They will last in the freezer for about 2 months.

Tips to Make Mediterranean Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the cabbage before mixing it into the burger mixture to prevent sogginess.
  • You can adjust the spices to suit your taste. Adding herbs like parsley or oregano can enhance the flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, stick to chickpea flour instead of oat flour.
