Begin by prepping the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and stem and cut the cauliflower head into florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the texture of rice or small breadcrumbs. You may need to work in batches.
Transfer the riced cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for ensuring your hash browns will be crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, eggs, almond flour, minced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture for each hash brown and form into a patty shape. You should have about 8 patties total.
Place the patties into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy, alongside your favorite Whole30-compliant dips or toppings.
