Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups riced cauliflower (about 1 medium head)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional, for added binding)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray for frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Riced Cauliflower:
    • Grate or process the cauliflower florets in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like texture.
  2. Cook Cauliflower:
    • Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5-7 minutes or until it’s tender. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  3. Drain Excess Moisture:
    • Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the cooked cauliflower. This step is crucial to achieve crispy hash browns.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and almond flour (if using). Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.
  5. Shape Hash Browns:
    • Divide the cauliflower mixture into equal portions and shape them into hash brown patties.
  6. Fry in Pan:
    • Heat olive oil or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat. Place the cauliflower hash browns in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain and Serve:
    • Place the cooked hash browns on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot.
