Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 medium head of cabbage
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or traditional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying (vegetable or sunflower oil)

Instructions

Prepare the Cabbage: Remove outer leaves and cut the cabbage into thick slices or wedges (about 1-inch thick).
Blanch the cabbage slices in boiling salted water for 3–5 minutes until slightly softened but still firm. Drain and pat dry.
Set Up Breading Station:

In three shallow bowls:
Place the flour in the first bowl.
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in the second bowl.
Mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.

Bread the Cabbage:

Dip each cabbage slice in flour, coating all sides.
Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Schnitzels:

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the breaded cabbage slices in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve: Serve hot with lemon wedges, sour cream, or a creamy dipping sauce. Pair it with mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy this crispy, golden twist on schnitzel!
