Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The patties should be beautifully crispy
Transfer the cooked Crispy Cabbage Patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy these perfect cabbage patties!

Notes

To achieve super crispy patties, firmly squeeze out every last drop of moisture from the shredded cabbage.

Do not overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if necessary to prevent soggy patties.

Ensure the oil is hot enough (medium heat) before adding patties for even cooking and a beautiful golden crust.

For a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.

Boost flavor with shredded carrots, bell peppers, fresh herbs (parsley, dill), or a sprinkle of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella).

Finely minced fresh onion and garlic can replace powder for more intense flavor.

To bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place formed patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. They will be less crispy than fried but still delicious.
