Ingredients

• 200 grams Cauliflower florets
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 50 grams Spinach
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or ghee (for frying)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, mash them lightly with a fork and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

Finely chop the spinach or pulse it in a food processor until it’s roughly shredded.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower, grated zucchini, and chopped spinach. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the almond flour, ground flaxseed, chili powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too wet, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour until it holds together.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into small, round cutlets or patties.

Step 7

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add coconut oil or ghee. Once hot, place the cutlets in the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

Step 8

Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. These cutlets pair well with a side of keto-friendly dips or a fresh salad!
