How to Make Crispy Cabbage Fries (The Ultimate Pantry Rescue!)

 

What You'll Need

 

• 1 small head green or purple cabbage
• Avocado oil (or other high smoke point oil for frying)
• 3 tablespoons Pam’s All-Purpose Prep Seasoning, divided
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream or milk
• 1 tablespoon liquid from pickled jalapeños (optional)

 

How to Make It

 

1. Prep the Cabbage:

• Remove any wilted outer leaves.
• Cut the cabbage into thick “steaks,” then slice into 1-inch wide fry strips.
• Keep pieces uniform so they cook evenly.

 

2. Heat the Oil:

• Add oil to your skillet (about 1/4 way up the pan).
• Heat to 320°F using an instant-read thermometer.

 

3. Prepare the Coating:

• In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons Pam’s Prep Seasoning.
• In another dish, whisk eggs, heavy cream, and jalapeño liquid if using.

 

4. Coat the Cabbage:

• Dip each cabbage strip into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture.
• Set aside and repeat until all pieces are coated.

 

5. Fry Until Crispy:

• Carefully place cabbage sticks into the hot oil.
• Cook until golden brown, turning once for even crispiness.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
  
  

Note: For best results, make sure your cabbage is completely dry and very cold before frying. Moisture will prevent crispiness. Using the middle slices of the cabbage works best for uniform fries.

Final Touch

• Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Perfect on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
