Wash and finely shred the cabbage. Sautu00e9 it in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Allow it to cool, then squeeze out excess moisture with your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, chickpea flour, grated carrot (if using), parsley, and all the spices (garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and chili flakes). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the mixture sticks together without being too soggy. Then, use your hands to shape it into small patties.
Warm 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden and crispy.
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F (190u00b0C). Set the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve warm with your favorite vegan dips like hummus, tahini, or vegan sour cream.
