Cauliflower Hash Browns, Step by Step

Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Grate the cauliflower on the coarse side of a box grater, or pulse it in a food processor until it looks like rice. Steam it for 4 minutes, then spread it on a plate to cool.

  2. Tip the cooled cauliflower into a clean tea towel and wring out as much liquid as you can, twice.

  3. Mix the cauliflower with the eggs, Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Shape into eight flat patties about 1.5 cm thick.

  4. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in two batches for 4 minutes on each side, until deep golden and crisp, and drain on kitchen paper.

Tips for Making Cauliflower Hash Browns

  • Press the mixture firmly when shaping; loose patties break up in the pan.
  • If the mixture feels wet, add another tablespoon of almond flour rather than letting the patties steam in the pan.
  • Turn them once only, with a wide spatula, once they release from the pan.

Serving Suggestions

  • A fried egg
  • Sliced avocado
  • Smoked salmon
  • Plain Greek yogurt with chives

Keeping and Reheating

Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a dry pan or a hot oven so they crisp up again.
