Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups riced cauliflower (from about 1 ¼ pounds or ½ medium head cauliflower or thawed frozen riced cauliflower)
1 large egg
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper)
Non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place racks in the center and upper third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
  • Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
  • Spread the cauliflower onto a clean, dry kitchen towel and let cool for 5 minutes; keep the cauliflower fairly centered on the towel.
  • Bring the sides of the towel up and around the cauliflower to make a purse. Squeeze as much moisture out of the cauliflower as possible. The drier it is, the crispier the cauliflower hash browns will be.
  • To a large, dry mixing bowl, add the egg. Lightly beat it with a fork, then stir in the cheddar, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • Add the cauliflower to the bowl and mix to thoroughly combine.
  • Divide the cauliflower mixture into 8 equal portions. Working one portion at a time, squeeze the portion firmly into a ball with your hands, then gently flatten with your hands to shape into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the patties evenly on the baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each.
  • Bake on the center rack until lightly browned and set, about 15 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees halfway through.
  • Turn the broiler to low. Transfer the pan to the upper-third rack and bake until crispy on top, about 5 minutes. Watch very carefully so that the hash browns do not burn.
  • Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. Enjoy hot.

CAULIFLOWER HASH BROWNS RECIPE BY TASTY



Cauliflower Hash Browns Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large cauliflower, parmesan cheese, fresh chives, garlic, olive oil, dried basil, eggs, salt, black pepper, dipping sauce

Provided by Joey Firoben

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head large cauliflower
½ cup parmesan cheese
⅓ cup fresh chives, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon black pepper
dipping sauce, of your choice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Using a coarse grater, grate the cauliflower until the entire head has crumbled down into small bit.
  • Transfer the cauliflower bits to a bowl and sprinkle over a ½ teaspoon of the salt. Mix the cauliflower to incorporate the salt and let sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture.
  • Transfer the soaking cauliflower to another bowl lined with a large towel. Wrap the towel closed and squeeze so that all of the excess liquid is strained.
  • Transfer the cauliflower back into the first bowl used and mix with the cheese, chives, garlic, olive oil, basil, black pepper, eggs and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • Turnover a large roasting tray and line with parchment paper - this helps prevent burning on the bottom of the hash browns. Divide the cauliflower mixture into 6 even portions, place on the tray, and shape into hash browns.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Let the hash browns cool for about 15 minutes until they have set.
  • Serve with desired dipping sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for heads of cauliflower that are firm and have tightly packed florets. Avoid any heads that have brown or yellow spots, as these are signs of spoilage.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a food processor to do this.
  • Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the hash: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly smoky flavor. You can roast the cauliflower at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your hash: This will add flavor and texture. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, potatoes, and zucchini.
  • Season the hash well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the hash over medium heat: This will help to prevent the vegetables from burning. Stir the hash frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the hash immediately: It is best when served hot and fresh. You can top it with a fried egg, avocado slices, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower hash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover cauliflower, and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal. With so many variations to choose from, there is sure to be a cauliflower hash recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give cauliflower hash a try!
