Cauliflower Flying Dutchman Burgers are a creative low-carb twist on the classic bunless burger, featuring juicy beef patties with melted cheese sandwiched between roasted cauliflower “steaks.”

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
  • Sliced pickles (optional)
  • Mustard (optional)
  • Sugar-free ketchup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove leaves from cauliflower and slice into 3/4-inch thick center “steaks,” aiming for 4 large slices.
  3. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly golden.
  5. Divide ground beef into 4 portions and shape into thin patties slightly larger than the cauliflower slices.
  6. Season patties with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Cook patties in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
  8. Add a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking and allow to melt.
  9. Assemble burgers by placing one cheesy patty between two roasted cauliflower slices.
  10. Add optional toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cut thick center slices of cauliflower to prevent breaking.
  • Fresh cauliflower works best; frozen is too soft for steaks.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure beef reaches at least 160°F for well done.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted.
  • Store patties and cauliflower separately for up to 3 days.
  • Cooked patties can be frozen for up to 2 months.
