Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups riced cauliflower (about 1 medium head)
- ⅓ cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp blanched almond flour
- ¼ tsp hot sauce, or to taste
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Cauliflower
- Rice the Cauliflower: If using a whole cauliflower, remove the leaves and stem. Cut into florets and pulse in a food processor until the cauliflower resembles rice. Measure out 3 ½ cups of riced cauliflower.
- Cook the Cauliflower: Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Combine the Ingredients
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked riced cauliflower, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, blanched almond flour, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the Hash Browns
- Shape Hash Browns: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Cook the Hash Browns
- Heat Oil: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
- Cook Hash Browns: Place the cauliflower patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful when flipping them to keep them intact.
Serve
- Serve Hot: Transfer the cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot as a breakfast side dish or as a delicious low-carb snack.
Conclusion
These Cauliflower Hash Browns are a tasty and healthy alternative to traditional hash browns. They are low in carbs, gluten-free, and packed with flavor. Enjoy them as part of your breakfast or as a side dish, and relish the delightful combination of cauliflower, cheese, and spices.
