Cabbage fritters are prepared quickly. They are tender, juicy, crispy, healthy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Ingredients for Cabbage fritters:
2 cups raw white cabbage, finely shredded
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil for frying (I use Avocado oil)
2 Tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
2 Tablespoons green onions, finely chopped (optional)
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
Directions:
1. Rinse the cabbage. Remove the top leaves. Chop the cabbage finely. Add ½ teaspoon salt and mash well with your hands. Leave the cabbage to sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the juice if any.
2. Add grated carrots to the cabbage. Add sour cream, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. If desired, add fresh dill, green onions, garlic, and herbs.
3. Spoon the mass into a preheated frying pan, preheated with vegetable oil. Fry cabbage pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown
4. Pat the pancakes with paper towels to remove the excess oil (optional)
5. Serve with sour cream or try them with homemade Chipotle sauce. Yum! Enjoy your meal!
Notes:
1. I used my Braun food processor for easy cabbage and carrot shredding and chopping
2. Although it is a low-carb recipe, you can substitute the all-purpose flour to make it more keto-friendly. You can sub for almond flour, coconut flour, Gluten-free flour or any of your preferred keto flour. 1:1

Would this recipe work in an air fryer? I'm going to make them either way, just thought I would ask. Thanks
Reply
Irina
Absolutely! For the air fryer I suggest to line the cooking tray/basket with parchment paper. Af at 400 3 minutes per side or until done and golden brown

You should change the ingredients in the recipe! I wouldn't have known the right one had I not read this.

It has carrot, onion, white flour and sour cream.. individually these ingredients are ok in small quantities on the keto diet. Together like this they all add up.. while this "might" be considered a keto friendly dish to some, it's not really unless this is the only carbs you plan to eat for that day and only a smallish portion.

They look great but I don’t like sour cream. What would be the best substitute? Thanks

Hi Karen.
Mayonnaise and yogurt is a good substitute.
Or you can leave them out.Reply

Definitely not Keto friendly as another comment. I'll probably try them with some substitutes as they sound good...no carrots, onion and garlic powder and coconut flour. Coconut flour cannot be used 1:1 for other flours, so will only add a bit to get the correct consistency. I see there is a question on baking soda or powder and both are in the recipe. Ok, maybe I'll just delete both!!!

Can I use coleslaw mix instead of chopping up the lettuce and carrots? I want to add shrimp to the patties as well.
Reply

Yes, absolutely, you can use coleslaw mix. Adding shrimp to the patties is a Wonderful idea!

My question is can I freeze the cabbage fritters.since I live alone
Reply
Irina
Absolutely, you can freeze the cooked cabbage fritters and I would suggest to line each one with a small piece of parchment paper for easy separating. Freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the M/w or skillet.
