Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Chives or green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or avocado oil) for frying
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a colander. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over it and set it aside for 10 minutes to release excess water.

Step 2

Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Once cooked, mash them gently with a fork in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Rinse and finely chop the spinach. Add it to the mixing bowl with the mashed cauliflower.

Step 4

Using your hands or a clean kitchen towel, squeeze as much water as possible out of the salted zucchini. Add the zucchini to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped chives or green onions, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) to the vegetable mixture.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together when formed into patties.

Step 7

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate or baking sheet.

Step 8

Heat the coconut oil (or avocado oil) in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Vegetable Patties hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a fresh green salad.
