Ingredients

• 4 cups finely shredded green cabbage

• ¼ cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella
• ¼ cup finely diced onion

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Place shredded cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Mix cabbage with eggs, mozzarella, onion, flour, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, pepper, and parsley.
4. Divide into 8 portions and shape into compact patties about ½ inch thick.
5. Place on the baking sheet and lightly brush or spray with oil.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip.
7. Bake another 10–12 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra-crispy edges, if desired.
8. Rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
