Ingredients
Cauliflower Hash Browns
- 5 cups riced cauliflower (from a large head of cauliflower)
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the hash browns.
- Cook cauliflower: Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap, leaving one edge slightly open to vent. Microwave on high for 6 minutes until cooked.
- Drain cauliflower: Transfer the cooked cauliflower onto a kitchen towel and allow to cool enough to handle. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible to prevent soggy patties.
- Mix ingredients: Return the drained cauliflower to the bowl. Add shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, paprika, pepper, and the egg. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into eight evenly sized patties and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly greased.
- Bake hash browns: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip each patty and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the cooked cauliflower to ensure crispy hash browns.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with a cheese of your preference or skip it for a dairy-free version.
- Feel free to add chopped herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
- Serve with your favorite breakfast dishes or as a snack with dipping sauces.
