Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of raw white cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds mixed with 6 tbsp of water (this is a vegan egg substitute)
  • 2 tbsp of vegan sour cream (you can use store-bought or make your own with silken tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar)
  • 4 tbsp of almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp of baking powder

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the cabbage and remove the top leaves. Chop the cabbage finely using a food processor or a knife.
  2. Add 1/2 tsp of salt to the cabbage and massage it well with your hands. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess juice if any.
  3. Add the grated carrot to the cabbage and mix well.
  4. Add the flax eggs, vegan sour cream, baking soda, baking powder, almond flour, salt, and pepper to the cabbage mixture and stir until well combined.
  5. If desired, add the green onion, garlic, and dill for extra flavor.
  6. Preheat your oven to 200°C/392°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Drop a tablespoon of batter onto the prepared sheet and flatten it slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter, leaving some space between each fritter.
  8. Bake the fritters for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and crisp, flipping them halfway through.
  9. Serve the fritters with vegan sour cream or your favorite sauce. Enjoy your delicious and crunchy vegan cabbage fritters!
