Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying or brushing if baking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
- Make the Batter: Add the eggs, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until the cabbage and carrots are well-coated with the batter.
- For Fried Fritters: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the cabbage mixture and drop it into the skillet. Flatten it slightly with a spoon. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- For Baked Fritters: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the cabbage mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening each portion slightly. Brush the tops with a little olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce like yogurt, sour cream, or a spicy aioli.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- You can also add a sprinkle of cheese, such as parmesan, for added flavor.
- These fritters are versatile and can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
