Crispy Cabbage Fritters
These crispy cabbage fritters are quick, easy, and absolutely addictive! Made with simple ingredients like shredded cabbage, onions, and flour, they’re pan-fried to golden perfection. Perfect as a snack, side, or even a light meal—eggless and gluten-free options included!
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 eggs (or ¼ cup plain yogurt for egg-free)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup grated cheese (optional)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley or cilantro
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Vegetables
- Shred the cabbage, grate the carrot, and finely chop the onion. Add all veggies to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- Add eggs (or yogurt), flour, cheese, and spices to the bowl. Mix everything well until it forms a sticky, uniform batter.
Step 3: Heat the Pan & Fry the Fritters
- Place a non-stick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 1–2 tablespoons of oil. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter, flatten slightly, and place in the hot pan.
Step 4: Fry Until Golden
- Cook fritters for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if needed.
Step 5: Drain & Serve
- Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, squeeze water out of the cabbage before mixing.
- Use chickpea flour and dairy-free yogurt for a fully plant-based version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
- Fritters can be frozen for up to 2 months.
