Easy to prepare and delicious when served with sour cream or a homemade chipotle dipping sauce, air fryer cabbage fritters are a hit. Simple to bind and cook without creating a mess on parchment paper, I adore the way the crunchy cabbage gives them a caramelised, crispy exterior and a soft, crunchy interior
Ingredients:
- One medium carrot, finely chopped
- two cups raw cabbage, finely shredded
- one egg
- One tablespoon of sour cream, plus additional to serve
- Three tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- one-tsp salt, or according to taste
- One teaspoon of your preferred seasoning or ½ teaspoon pepper, to taste. I made use of Mrs. Dash Spice Blend.
- One tablespoon of vegetable oil of choice, or olive oil, to brush the fritters with
Directions:
- Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Take off the cabbage’s upper leaves.
- Shred the cabbage finely. For simple chopping and shredding of cabbage and carrots, I use a Braun food processor.
- Shredded carrot and cabbage, baking soda, flour, sour cream, spices, and egg should all be combined in a big basin. Stir well.
- Add the herbs, garlic, and green onions, if preferred.
Pick up the small amount of ingredients (about two teaspoons) and form it into a ball with your palms. - Keep in mind to slightly moisten your hands if the mixture begins to become sticky.
- Place the balls in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer.
- Press the balls with a spoon to form a pancake shape that is about ½ inch thick.
- Mist each fritter with a small amount of oil spray. An alternative is to use oil for brushing. Air fried till golden brown with caramelised edges, 3–4 minutes per side.
- Give them a few minutes to cool. Enjoy them warm or cold and dip them into a flavorful, garlicky Chipotle sauce or serve with a dollop of sour cream (approximately 1 teaspoon).
Notes:
- To lay out the cabbage fritters, use parchment paper. They won’t stick and will be simple to flip. However, continue to brush the fritter with oil.
- Almond flour or gluten-free flour can be used in its place.
- You can season with anything you like.
- If preferred, add a few fresh herbs. I especially enjoy using finely sliced green onion and fresh dill.
- To create a fully loaded cabbage fritter, add cooked bacon pieces or crumbles, a dollop of sour cream, and green onions or chives on top.
