Cabbage cutlets in the oven are a simple and incredibly delicious dish of Russian cuisine that combines the lightness of vegetables with the richness of traditional cutlets. These tender and aromatic patties have a crispy golden crust while remaining soft and juicy inside. Cabbage gives them a pleasant freshness, and added spices reveal depth of flavor. Historically, such cutlets emerged as an economical yet nutritious dish that is easy to prepare year-round. They can be served with sour cream, homemade sauce, or fresh vegetables, making them a versatile choice for family dinners or light snacks. Baking in the oven makes them less greasy while preserving their rich taste and appetizing texture.

Put it in the oven for about 20 minutes.

As soon as they are fried, I highly recommend taking them out of the oven and carefully flipping them over with a spatula. Then they will be crispy.
