Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh spinach
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 medium, finely diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Roughly chop the spinach and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 3

Add the almond flour, finely diced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix thoroughly to form a batter.

Step 4

Fold the chopped spinach into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Using your hands or a spoon, form small patties from the batter (about 3 inches in diameter). Place them into the heated skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Wipe the skillet clean and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil as needed for each batch.

Step 10

Serve the spinach patties warm on their own, or pair them with a Whole30-approved dipping sauce or side dish like roasted vegetables.
