Cabbage fritters are a versatile, delicious way to enjoy the humble cabbage. These golden, crispy fritters are packed with flavor, making them perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Whether you’re trying to sneak more veggies into your diet or looking for a quick and satisfying dish,
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, grated (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped onion. Add the eggs, flour, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly coated. If the mixture seems too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until a thick but scoopable batter forms. - Heat the Oil:
Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking. - Cook the Fritters:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet. Flatten gently with a spatula to form small patties. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. - Drain and Serve:
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. - Serve Warm:
Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or a spicy sriracha mayo. -
Tips:
- You can add grated zucchini or chopped spinach to the mix for a veggie-packed version.
- For a cheesy twist, mix in ¼ cup of shredded cheese like cheddar or parmesan.
- These fritters store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and can be reheated in an oven or air fryer for crispiness.
Enjoy your crispy cabbage fritters! 🥬✨
