 Ingredients

 Cabbage Steaks

• 1 large green cabbage
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Crispy Cabbage Patties

• 4 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella
• ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan
• ¼ cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped green onion
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Extra Topping

• ½ cup (50 g) shredded mozzarella
• 2 tbsp Parmesan
• Fresh parsley, optional
• Red pepper flakes, optional

 Instructions

1. Prepare the cabbage steaks

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Remove any damaged outer cabbage leaves.

Cut the cabbage into thick rounds, approximately ¾–1 inch (2–2.5 cm) thick.

Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

2. Make the seasoning mixture

Combine olive oil, melted butter, garlic, paprika, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the cabbage steaks.

3. Bake the cabbage

Bake for 15 minutes.

Carefully flip the cabbage steaks.

Bake for another 8–12 minutes, until the edges are browned and the cabbage is tender.

 Make the Crispy Cabbage Patties

4. Shred and drain the cabbage

Finely shred about 4 cups of cabbage.

Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.

Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

This helps the patties become crispy instead of watery.

5. Mix the ingredients

Add the cabbage to a bowl.

Mix in:

• Eggs
• Mozzarella
• Parmesan
• Red bell pepper
• Green onion
• Flour
• Garlic
• Paprika
• Italian seasoning
• Salt
• Black pepper

Mix until everything is well combined.

6. Form patties

Scoop out approximately ¼ cup of the mixture for each patty.

Flatten into small round patties about ½ inch thick.

7. Bake

Place the patties on a lightly oiled parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush or spray the tops lightly with olive oil.

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for approximately 12–15 minutes.

Carefully flip them.

Bake for another 8–10 minutes.

8. Add the cheese

Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan over each patty.

Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes lightly golden.

For a more browned top, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.

🌬️ Air Fryer Method

For the cabbage patties:

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly spray the basket.
3. Place patties in a single layer.
4. Air fry for 8–10 minutes.
5. Flip carefully.
6. Cook another 5–7 minutes.
7. Add cheese and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Cook in batches if needed.

 Tips for Crispy Results

• Squeeze as much water as possible from shredded cabbage.
• Don’t make the patties too thick.
• Leave space between the patties.
• Freshly shredded cheese melts especially well.
• Don’t flip the patties too early—they need time to develop a crust.
• Serve immediately for the best crispiness.

 Easy Dipping Sauce

Mix together:

• ½ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper

Stir well and refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving.

 Recipe Q&A

Can I use red cabbage?

Yes, although green cabbage gives the closest result to the photo.

Why are my cabbage patties falling apart?

The cabbage may contain too much moisture. Squeeze it very well and make sure the egg and flour are thoroughly mixed in.

Can I make these without flour?

Yes. The patties will be softer, so handle them carefully. You can also use 2 tbsp breadcrumbs instead.

Can I use cheddar instead of mozzarella?

Absolutely. Cheddar gives a stronger flavor and melts beautifully.

Can I make them ahead?

Yes. Prepare the patties, refrigerate them covered, and bake when ready.

How long do leftovers last?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.

How should I reheat them?

Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) until hot and crisp.

Can I freeze them?

Yes. Freeze cooked patties in a single layer, then transfer to an airtight container. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or air fryer.
