A few tips:
- Make sure to slice the white cabbage as thinly as you can. Preferably using a mandolin.
- I used white cabbage, but you can also use point cabbage or red cabbage.
- Squeeze out some of the excess water from the carrots to avoid the fritters turning out too wet.
- Form equally sized patties to make sure they have the same baking time.
- You can make these fritter in an air fryer, oven or fried in a pan.
- If you bake them in an air fryer make sure to grease/spray the air fryer basked with cooking spray/oil.
- If baking them in the oven line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place them on.
- If frying them in a pan I would recommend you to use a nonstick pan. It makes them easier to flip and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
