Calories: 97kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 1 yellow onion use ½ onion for low-carb diet
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 5 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Oil for frying.
Instructions
- Chop cauliflower into florets and place it in a food processor. Pulse until you have cauliflower rice.
- Place the cauliflower rice inside a clean tea towel and squeeze as much excess water as possible from the rice. Set aside.
- Finely dice the onion and sauté with olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Season with salt. Add the riced cauliflower and stir until golden and soft. Remove from heat.
- Beat the eggs in a medium bowl, add the parmesan cheese, almond flour, chopped parsley, and garlic powder.
- Add the cauliflower rice mix to the eggs mixture and mix well.
- Heat some oil in a non-stick skillet, spoon the hash brown mix into the pan and flatten a little without squashing. Cook them over low heat on both sides until golden brown. You can also spoon the mix onto parchment paper on a baking sheet and oven bake them for a lighter option.
- Serve warm with a dipping sauce such as tomato, a spicy Spicy Salsa Roja or even a Whipped Fetta.
Notes
Recipe Variations
- Switch parsley for any herb you like, such as chives or even chilli, for some kick.
- You can sub Parmesan cheese for saltier Pecorino cheese or you can leave the cheese out altogether if you prefer.
- Feel free to experiment with flavours, such as adding a pinch or two of cumin or even sweet paprika (especially if you leave the cheese out).
Recipe Tips
- It is important to squeeze as much moisture from the cauliflower as possible to avoid a wet mix and ultimately soggy hash browns. Raw cauliflower tends to hold more liquid than cooked, so you can – microwave the cauliflower rice for a minute or two and spread it out to dry before squeezing in a tea towel. Or, use the eggplant method of sprinkling it with salt and letting it sit to draw out the moisture first.
- If your mixture ends up slightly watery, add one tablespoon of coconut flour to absorb the water excess.
