Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized, grated Zucchini
• 1 cup, riced Cauliflower
• 1 cup, chopped Spinach
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.25 cup, grated (optional, skip for dairy-free) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much water as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the patties hold together.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, riced cauliflower, chopped spinach, almond flour, eggs, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese (if using).

Step 3

Add the parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Using your hands, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 10-12 patties.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to prevent breaking.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm as is or with a low-carb dipping sauce, such as a garlic yogurt dip or avocado crema.
