🥬 Crispy Cabbage Patties

Golden, crispy on the outside and tender inside, these cabbage patties are an easy and delicious way to turn simple ingredients into a satisfying snack or light meal.

🥣 Ingredients

  • 4 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp cooking oil, for frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Shred the cabbage very finely and place it in a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and gently massage the cabbage for 1–2 minutes to soften it.
  3. If the cabbage releases a lot of water, squeeze out the excess moisture with your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Add the eggs, flour, shredded cheese, green onions, parsley or cilantro, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a thick mixture that holds together when pressed.
  6. Divide the mixture into portions and shape each one into a thick oval or round patty.
  7. Heat a thin layer of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  8. Carefully place the patties in the hot pan. Don’t overcrowd the skillet.
  9. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, gently flipping once the bottom is golden brown.
  10. Continue cooking until both sides are deep golden and crispy and the center is fully cooked.
  11. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
  12. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
