Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cauliflower florets
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying the cauliflower florets. Use a food processor to pulse them until they resemble the texture of rice.

Step 2

Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 3

Let the cauliflower cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure the hash browns are crispy.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower with the egg, flour, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 5

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cauliflower patties to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy.
