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.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, riced cauliflower, chopped spinach, almond flour, eggs, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
Add the parsley, cumin powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
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.
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.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to prevent breaking.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm as is or with a low-carb dipping sauce, such as a garlic yogurt dip or avocado crema.
