How to Make Perfect Cauliflower Hash Browns:

Prep!

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Rice the cauliflower and shred the cheese.

Tip: use fresh cauliflower rice for the best results. You may be able to find pre-riced cauliflower in the produce section of your local grocery store.

Tip: It is recommended to shred the cheese from a block. Using pre-shredded bagged cheese contains additional starches and doesn’t melt as nicely. You can also use any variety of cheese you prefer to change up the flavor to suit your own tastes.

Create!

Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high for 6 minutes.

Dump out the cooked riced cauliflower onto a kitchen towel and let it cool to the point you can handle it without it burning. Once cool, wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.

Place the cauliflower back into the bowl and add the cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and egg. Mix well to thoroughly combine.

Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties on a baking sheet. You can shape them any way that you prefer.

Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5 minutes or until golden brown.
