Looking for a healthy and tasty way to enjoy cabbage? These cabbage and egg fritters are a fantastic choice! Made with simple ingredients, they’re flavorful, nutritious, and easy to prepare without using vegetable oil. Here’s how to make this family-favorite recipe.

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium cabbage – finely shredded
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup flour (you can use all-purpose, whole wheat, or a gluten-free option)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• Olive oil spray (or any oil-free cooking spray, to lightly coat the pan)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cabbage: Finely shred the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly.
2. Add the Eggs: Crack the 3 eggs into the bowl with the cabbage and mix well until combined.
3. Add Flour and Seasonings: Gradually add the flour to the cabbage mixture, stirring until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
4. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray. This will keep the fritters from sticking without adding too much oil.
5. Form the Fritters: Scoop spoonfuls of the cabbage mixture and carefully place them in the heated pan. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon to form small fritters.
6. Cook Until Golden: Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
7. Serve: Enjoy these cabbage and egg fritters hot, with a dipping sauce like Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a tangy mustard dip.

Tips

• Extra Veggies: Add grated carrots or chopped scallions for extra flavor.
• Spice It Up: For a hint of spice, add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes.
• Make It Gluten-Free: Use almond flour or chickpea flour as a substitute.

These cabbage and egg fritters are delicious, light, and perfectly crispy without needing vegetable oil. Serve them as a snack, side dish, or light meal, and enjoy this healthier take on a family favorite!
