Instructions:
1. Mix It All Together
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, onion, carrot, eggs, flour, and seasonings.
Stir until well combined and the mixture holds together.
2. Fry Until Golden
Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and gently flatten into patties.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
3. Serve and Enjoy
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dip or enjoy plain.
