If you’re looking for a fun and tasty recipe idea with red cabbage, you’ve come to the right place. We have the perfect recipe for you: Vegan red cabbage fritters with apple and fennel.

Donuts are thin, savory pancakes that you can make with just about any vegetable you like, and even legumes. They’re perfect for using up the leftovers you keep in the fridge.
For this recipe, we combined crunchy red cabbage with sweet apples, aromatic fennel seeds, and tangy mustard. It’s a great combination that’s worth trying!
What classic donuts have in common, however, is the batter: a combination of eggs, flour, and milk. They are whipped into a liquid mixture that holds all the veggies together as they cook.
We have found a clever replacement for the classic dough dairy free, egg free, vegan and gluten free. And it’s practically nutritionally equivalent!
What did we do? We used chickpea flour, chia seeds, nutritional yeast and extra virgin olive oil.
These ingredients give us a creamy yellow batter that works just like eggs and holds our donut veggies together. And it offers Proteins, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. It’s a win-win situation!
Once you have the cabbage mixture ready, all that’s left to do is shape the donuts and bake them in the oven until they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Skipping the traditional roast means you will reduce fatsand it will take time much less time and effort.
Serve these healthy cabbage pancakes on a bed of lettuce and with any dip you like. We love them with our Vegan Cashew Mayonnaise or Spicy Plum Chutney for extra flavor.
Ok, it’s time to go ahead and prep these beauties!
