Ingredients

For 8 people

  • 3 cupriced cauliflower (from about 1 ¼ pounds or ½ medium head cauliflower or thawed frozen riced cauliflower)
  • 1large egg
  • 0.75 cupshredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.25 cupgrated Parmesan
  • 0.5 tspkosher salt
  • 0.25 tspground black pepper
  • 0.25 tspgarlic powder
  • 0.25 tsponion powder
  • 0.25 tspsmoked paprika (or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper)
  • —Non-stick cooking spray

Steps

  1. 1

    Place racks in the center and upper third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 205°C. Generously coat a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Spread the cauliflower onto a clean, dry kitchen towel and let cool for 5 minutes; keep the cauliflower fairly centered on the towel.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Add the cauliflower to the bowl and mix to thoroughly combine.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    Bake on the center rack until lightly browned and set, about 15 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees halfway through.

  9. 9

    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.

  10. 10

    Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. Enjoy hot.
