Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Cabbage Fritters—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and perfect as a snack, side dish, or light meal.
Cabbage Fritters
Servings: 4 (makes ~12 fritters)
Ingredients
- 3 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1 small carrot, grated (optional for color and sweetness)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 3–4 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and green onions.
- Add eggs, flour, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together; add a bit more flour if too wet.
- Heat the Oil
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Form and Fry Fritters
- Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of the cabbage mixture for each fritter and flatten slightly into a patty.
- Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve
- Serve hot with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- Crispier fritters: Squeeze out excess moisture from the cabbage using a kitchen towel before mixing.
- Add-ins: Try shredded zucchini, corn, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Baking option: Place fritters on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make-ahead: The mixture can be prepared a few hours in advance and fried just before serving.
If you want, I can also provide a spicy version with chili flakes and smoked paprika for a kick.
