Garnished with fresh parsley, theyβre as visually appealing as they are tasty, and a sneaky way to add more vegetables to your meal!
Begin by finely grating the cauliflower florets using a box grater or a food processor until you have about 3 cups of grated cauliflower.
Transfer the grated cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Wrap it up and squeeze tightly to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy hash browns.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, egg, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture into the skillet for each hash brown, spacing them evenly apart. Flatten each mound slightly with a spatula to form patty shapes.
Cook the hash browns for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
