Preheat oven to 190 degrees C (375 degrees F).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 0.5 tsp salt to the pot once boiling. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the stem, and place in boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes or until outer leaves are translucent and tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat. Cook 900 g ground beef until browned completely. Add 1 clove minced garlic, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper, along with 240 ml (1 cup) of marinara sauce. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine 450 g ricotta cheese, 240 g (1 cup) mozzarella cheese (reserve 240 g for topping), 2 eggs, 0.5 tsp dried parsley, 1 tsp dried basil, 0.5 tsp oregano, 0.5 tsp onion powder, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix well and set aside.
To assemble in a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 inch) casserole dish: Lay cabbage leaves to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the cabbage leaves, followed by half of the meat mixture.
Layer more cabbage slices over the meat and repeat with the remaining cheese and meat mixtures. Finish with the final slices of cabbage.
Top with 240 ml (1 cup) marinara sauce and 240 g (1 cup) mozzarella cheese. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes. For a crispier topping, broil for 5 minutes.
