Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 0.25 cup Almond Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Chop it into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles coarse crumbs or rice.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
Place the microwaved cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent soggy hash browns.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Step 6
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form into a patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, forming about 8 patties.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the cauliflower patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and set.
Step 9
Remove from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve the cauliflower hash browns warm as a delicious low-carb breakfast or as a side dish.
