Can I bake these instead of frying?

Absolutely! While frying gives that perfect crisp, you can bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes on a greased sheet. Flip halfway and spritz with oil for browning. They won't be quite as crunchy, but still delicious - my sister's oven-baked version disappears just as fast!

What other veggies can I add?

Oh, get creative! Shredded carrots or zucchini work beautifully (just squeeze out extra moisture). My neighbor adds corn kernels for sweetness, and I sometimes throw in finely chopped bell peppers for color. The basic batter is your playground!

Can I make the batter ahead?

Here's the thing - the cabbage releases water over time, so I don't recommend making batter more than 30 minutes early. But! You can prep all ingredients separately and mix right before frying. Shredded cabbage keeps great in the fridge overnight if you want a head start.
