Here’s a simple and delicious cabbage fritters recipe—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. These fritters are a great way to enjoy cabbage in a fun, savory way!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for freshness)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cabbage:
- Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss to combine. Let the cabbage sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out any extra liquid from the cabbage. This step ensures your fritters stay crispy!
2. Mix the Batter:
- To the cabbage, add the diced onion, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, paprika, fresh parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The batter should be thick and hold together. If it feels too runny, add a little more flour to thicken it up.
3. Fry the Fritters:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the fritter mixture and drop it into the skillet. Flatten it slightly with a spoon to form a patty.
- Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
4. Drain and Serve:
- Once the fritters are done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, yogurt, or a tangy tomato dip.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, you can bake the fritters instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), place the fritters on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- You can also add carrot or zucchini to the fritter mix for extra flavor and nutrition!
- These fritters are great as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. They’re also fantastic when served alongside a salad.
These Delicious Cabbage Fritters are crispy, savory, and totally irresistible. Perfect for cabbage lovers or anyone looking to try something a bit different! Enjoy!
