Notes

For a crispier exterior, pan-fry or grill the patties instead of baking.Use egg and breadcrumbs (or almond flour) to help patties hold together.Substitute green cabbage with Napa or Savoy cabbage if preferred.Add extra veggies like grated carrot or zucchini for more nutrition.Customize herbs and spices such as thyme, oregano, or cumin.
