How to Make Cabbage and Carrot Patties

Preparation Method

1. Prepare Cabbage: Slice the cabbage into slender strips after thorough rinsing under cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, finely diced onion, grated carrot, and minced garlic. Stir vigorously until well combined.
3. Add Eggs: Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk until homogeneous. Gradually pour the beaten eggs over the cabbage mixture, using a spatula or hands to integrate thoroughly.
4. Season: Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using), ensuring even distribution.
5. Shape Patties: Shape the mixture into patties of desired dimensions using hands, ensuring uniform shapes.
6. Bake: Arrange the patties on a prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space for even cooking. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the patties for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through for extra crispiness.
7. Serve: Once baked to perfection, allow the patties to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream if desired, and enjoy the irresistible crunch of these cabbage and carrot patties.
