Ingredients:
For the Cabbage Fritters:

4 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
For the Spicy Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust according to heat preference)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Instructions:

Start by preparing the cabbage. Rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a food processor. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add water to the cabbage mixture, stirring continuously, until a thick batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter – thick but pourable. Adjust the water as needed.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil and allow it to heat up.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion out the cabbage batter onto the hot skillet, flattening each portion slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
While the fritters are cooking, prepare the spicy dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve the hot cabbage fritters immediately with the spicy dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
