Cauliflower Hash Browns
A low carb allrounder! These cauliflower hash browns are deliciously spiced with turmeric. Crispy on the outside, soft in the centre.
Servings: 12 fritters
Calories: 45kcal
Ingredients
- 1 small cauliflower (450g/1 pound)
- 2 tablespoon scallions / spring onion chopped
- 2 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup / 50g mature cheddar grated
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius / 400 Fahrenheit.
- If you have a food processor, break the cauliflower into florets and process until it resembles rice. You might need 2-3 rounds for this. Alternatively, use a box grater.
- Microwave the cauliflower for 2 minutes. Spread onto a clean tea towel, let it cool down a bit. Then pull the tea towel together and form a cauliflower ball (see image in text). Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the cauliflower. You should end up with AT LEAST ½ cup of liquid. I ended up with 200 ml - over ¾ cup!
- Place the riced cauliflower back into the bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
- Form dough balls with your hands and place on a flat or an upturned regular baking tray which you have lined with parchment paper. This way, no moisture gets trapped on the sides and the cauliflower fritters get crispier.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the underside and the edges are lightly browned.

Notes
You can also fry these cauliflower hash browns in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Use either oil or butter. This takes 4-5 minutes per side.
Serve with a simple homemade mayonnaise or another dipping sauce of your choice.
