Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 0.25 cup Almond Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Chop it into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles coarse crumbs or rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the microwaved cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form into a patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, forming about 8 patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the cauliflower patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the cooked patties to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and set.
Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the cauliflower hash browns warm as a delicious low-carb breakfast or as a side dish.
