Ingredients

  • 3 cups Cauliflower rice
  • ½ Onion finely chopped
  • ¾ cup Cheddar Cheese (or mix of Mozzarella/Parmesan) grated
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Cauliflower Rice

  • Place the cauliflower in a bowl and microwave for 5 minutes.
  • Allow to cool enough to handle and squeeze the excess water from the cauliflower rice by either using a nut bag, muslin cloth or strong kitchen towel.

Making the Cauliflower Hash Browns

  • Place the cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl with the chopped onion, cheese and seasonings. Stir well to mix.
  • Using your hands, form little patties from the cauliflower mixture and place them on a plate or board. We make them square shaped but any shape can be made.

Air Fry Cauliflower Hash Browns

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and place the hash browns in a single layer in it. Cook at 200C/4050F degrees for 15 minutes, turning over after 10 minutes until golden and crispy.

Pan Fry Cauliflower Hash Browns

  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat.
  • Place the cauliflower patties in the pan and gently press down with a spatula to flatten.
  • Cook on each side for 5-8 minutes until golden.

Oven Bake Cauliflower Hash Browns

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the hash browns on the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, turning over half way through cooking, until both sides are golden.
