Cabbage Veggie Fritters
I’m pretty excited about these cabbage fritters because I haven’t really explored fritters too much in the past. I had a head of cabbage laying around and was thinking how I could prepare it, and thought – let’s try a fritter! And I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty happy with the outcome. It’s an interesting transformation of a very humble vegetable (the cabbage) into something golden brown and delicious. I’m all about lifting up the lowly vegetables and ingredients.
The Fritter-verse
Plus, making fritters opens up the whole fritter-verse of possibilities of vegetable fritters, meat fritters, meat and veggie combo fritters, . . . and so on and so forth. I’ve already made fritters a few more times. It’s a great way to use up ingredients in the fridge that may have been left over from previous recipes (that’s what led me to this recipe). So good, especially when served with a nice condiment…
Honey Greek Yogurt
The honey greek yogurt sauce really elevates these cabbage and carrot fritters to another level. The sweetness of the honey goes well with the cabbage and the tangy green diced apple. The honey yogurt sauce couldn’t be easier to make: mix together greek yogurt and honey, and that’s it! The texture of the honey yogurt is a little stiff and it’s shiny and tasty. Goes perfectly with the acidity of the diced apple.
Ingredients for Veggie Fritters
The ingredients for the veggie cabbage fritters are simple and common. You’ll need to cut the cabbage and green onions thinly and shred the carrots. It helps to squeeze the sliced cabbage in your hand in order to loosen up the pieces and make them more pliable (this way they’ll go with the flow when integrated into the fritter). First whisk together the ingredients for the batter and then incorporate the veggies.
Making the Cabbage Fritters
Drop large spoonfuls of your cabbage fritter batter into the hot vegetable oil. These spoonfuls will become your veggie fritters. Leave some space between them so that you can easily flip later on. Flip when golden brown on the bottom. The cabbage carrot fritters are finished when the other side is golden brown.
Serve them immediately with the honey greek yogurt condiment and sprinkle the diced apple on top.

Didn’t know cabbage and carrots could be so delicious. Do you think I could bake these? I’d like to eliminate the oil.
you can try baking if the batter is thick enough so that it doesn’t spread too much when you put it on the baking pan. Or you can pan fry in a good nonstick pan with very little oil.
