Ingredients:

Hash Browns:

1 head of fresh cauliflower, grated

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 eggs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Optional:

1/4 cup green onion

1 tbsp dried parsley

These take a while but are definitely worth the wait.

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Using a coarse grater, grate the cauliflower until the entire head has crumbled down into small bits.
3. 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.
4. 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. This is very important to make the hash browns crispy!
5. Transfer the cauliflower back into the first bowl used and mix with the cheese, garlic, olive oil, black pepper, eggs and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.
6. Turnover a large roasting tray and line with parchment paper – use a roasting tray, this leaves a gap at the bottom where the rack is and 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.
7. I like the classic rectangle shape.

1. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown.
2. Let the hash browns cool for about 15 minutes until they have set.
3. Put what you don’t use in the freezer. They are great for a scrumptious breakfast treat!
