Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
Place the cooled cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for crispy hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, form the cauliflower mixture into small patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the patties in the skillet, a few at a time, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the browned hash browns back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy them as a delicious snack.
