Looking for a gluten-free, vegan, low-carb snack that’s also delicious? This Keto Vegan, Gluten-Free Cabbage Cutlet recipe ticks all the boxes. Made from finely chopped cabbage, warm Indian spices, and seed flour, these cutlets are shallow-fried and come loaded with healthy fats, plant-based protein, and fiber. This healthy snack is perfect for those following a Ketogenic Lifestyle with a low-carb, healthy-fat diet.
I tried this recipe that came from my “what’s in the fridge?” moments. I was craving something tasty, but was not in the mood for almond flour crackers. As soon as I spotted some leftover cabbage and a few other ingredients in my kitchen, I was ready to experiment with another low-carb snack recipe.
Since that day, this easy recipe has been my go-to whenever I want to indulge in something hearty yet clean. This is such a lifesaver for me on busy evenings or when some guests drop by suddenly. You can also store them in the fridge for up to a few days and indulge when you feel like having a filling snack. Trust me—you’d keep coming back to them, no matter whether you follow keto or not.
