Ingredients
Scale
Cauliflower Hash Browns
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup almond flour (use regular flour for a non-gluten free option)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Cauliflower: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into smaller florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they resemble rice-sized granules.
- Remove Excess Moisture: Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the hash browns turn out crispy instead of soggy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, beaten egg, and almond flour. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a cohesive mixture.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small patties of your preferred size. Place the formed patties evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet to allow for even cooking.
- Baking: Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and crispiness on both sides. Bake until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the hash browns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a tasty, healthy breakfast side or snack.
Notes
- To keep this recipe gluten-free, use almond flour; regular flour can be substituted otherwise.
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the cauliflower as possible to achieve crispy hash browns.
- You can customize the flavor by adding other herbs or spices such as paprika or parsley.
- These hash browns can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative.
