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.

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!

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:
- Choose the right cauliflower. Use a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no blemishes. A medium-sized head of cauliflower will yield about 2 cups of riced cauliflower.
- Grate the cauliflower finely. This will help the hash browns to cook evenly. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
- Squeeze out the excess moisture from the cauliflower. This will help the hash browns to be crispy. You can use a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out the moisture.
- Use a non-stick skillet. This will help the hash browns to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the hash browns over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
- Flip the hash browns halfway through cooking. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Serve the hash browns immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower hash browns are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional hash browns. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their crispy texture and savory flavor, cauliflower hash browns are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
