Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower head
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency. You may need to do this in batches so the cauliflower is evenly processed.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy hash browns.
Finely dice the onion and add to a large mixing bowl along with the drained cauliflower rice.
Add the egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Using your hands, form small patties from the mixture, about 1/4 cup of the mixture per patty, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. You should be able to make about 8 patties.
Lightly spray the tops of the patties with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden, crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip them carefully with a spatula, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy cauliflower hash browns!
