Notes
- Keep any leftover oven-baked cabbage burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them a fantastic healthy option for quick lunches.
- To bring back that lovely crispness, gently reheat your cabbage burgers in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes per side, or pop them into a preheated oven until warmed through.
- Go beyond the bun and enjoy these versatile patties in a vibrant lettuce wrap, crumbled over a fresh garden salad, or alongside a dollop of your favorite tzatziki or spicy aioli for an extra flavor kick.
- For the firmest, crispiest patties, truly press and squeeze as much excess water as you can from the finely shredded cabbage before mixing; this is key to a great texture and helps prevent sogginess.
