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!

CAULIFLOWER " HASH BROWNS "



Cauliflower

This recipe comes from a Food Network show, I've changed it somewhat to use less ingredients but still retain the flavor. You MUST use an iron skillet.

Provided by PickledSeeds

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 head cauliflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Slice the cauliflower lengthwise, about 1/8-inch thick. (save the little cauliflower "crumbs")
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large iron skillet over medium heat.
  • When hot, but not smoking, add the cauliflower slices, spreading out into a single layer.
  • Do not stir, but let the vegetables cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the salt, reserved cauliflower crumbs, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, and give the vegetables a gentle stir.
  • Continue cooking, only stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are cooked through and nicely browned, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy hash browns, use a large skillet or griddle and cook the cauliflower in a single layer. Overcrowding the pan will result in soggy hash browns.
  • Use a combination of grated and chopped cauliflower to achieve a variety of textures in the hash browns. The grated cauliflower will provide a crispy exterior, while the chopped cauliflower will add a tender-chewy interior.
  • Season the hash browns generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve the hash browns immediately with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, bacon, avocado, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower hash browns are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato hash browns. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
