Servings: 8 patties
Calories: 84kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower, riced (about ½ head) or use thawed frozen cauliflower
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup all-purpose or almond flour
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- ½ cup onion chopped
- ¼ cup red bell pepper (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Garnish: chopped parsley or sliced green onion
Instructions
- To rice cauliflower, take off the leaves and the hard center stalk. Cut it into smaller florets. Place in a food processor or chopper and process with pulses until it resembles small grains of rice. You can also do this with a cheese grater using the medium-sized holes, although it is a bit more time-consuming. (If using frozen riced cauliflower, let thaw before proceeding.)
- Place riced cauliflower in a large bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes. Let cool for several minutes.
- Place the cauliflower between some paper towels and squeeze any moisture out. This will make for crisper hash browns.
- Return to bowl and add egg, flour, cheeses, red bell pepper, onion, and seasonings. Stir well.
- Shape into 8 equal patties about ½" thick.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Spray basket and lay 4 patties into bottom of basket. Spray tops of patties with an oil cooking spray.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time. Spray tops again after flipping.
- Hash browns are done when nicely browned and crispy on top. Remove and garnish with sliced green onions or chopped parsley.
