1. Steam the cauliflower rice in the microwave or on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly, then press it with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove as much moisture as possible.
2. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, grated zucchini, chopped spinach, almond flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix everything thoroughly until the mixture holds together.
5. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. With your hands, form small patties (about 3 inches wide) from the mixture. Place them carefully into the hot skillet, cooking 3–4 patties at a time to avoid overcrowding.
7. Cook each patty for 3–4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
8. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9. Serve warm with a side of avocado, a leafy green salad, or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
