Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 medium onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the spinach has cooled, carefully squeeze out excess liquid using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Finely chop the spinach and place it in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add the chopped onion, garlic, parsley, almond flour, eggs, sea salt, black pepper, and optional nutritional yeast to the bowl with the spinach. Mix well until a cohesive mixture forms.
Step 6
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
Heat the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd them. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue cooking the patties in batches until all are done.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. These patties can also be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
