Ingredients
- 1 Cauliflower head
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency. You may need to do this in batches so the cauliflower is evenly processed.
Step 3
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for getting crispy hash browns.
Step 4
Finely dice the onion and add to a large mixing bowl along with the drained cauliflower rice.
Step 5
Add the egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cauliflower mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 6
Using your hands, form small patties from the mixture, about 1/4 cup of the mixture per patty, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. You should be able to make about 8 patties.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the patties with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden, crispy finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flip them carefully with a spatula, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your healthy cauliflower hash browns!
