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.
Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 5-7 minutes). Once cooked, mash them gently with a fork in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse and finely chop the spinach. Add it to the mixing bowl with the mashed cauliflower.
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.
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.
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.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
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.
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.
Serve the Keto Vegetable Patties hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or a fresh green salad.
