Equipment
- Food processor
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Kitchen towel
- Mixing bowl
- Non-stick skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower about 1 lb / 450 g, riced
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup almond flour 50 g
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 30 g
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil for frying, 30 ml
Instructions
- Begin by washing the cauliflower and pat it dry. Cut into florets and pulse in a food processor until it achieves a rice-like consistency.
- Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for crispy hash browns.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Form the cauliflower mixture into patties and place them in the hot skillet. Press down with a spatula to flatten into a hash brown shape.
- Cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until each side is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Notes
Ensure to remove as much water as possible from the cauliflower to achieve the desired crispiness.
For a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan cheese and substitute with nutritional yeast for a similar flavor profile.
These hash browns can be made in advance and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick and easy meal prep option.
