For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a dash of onion powder to the cauliflower mixture. If you don't have bacon bits on hand, you can use crumbled cooked bacon instead. To ensure maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. If necessary, bake in batches. Serve these hash browns immediately for the best texture. They can be reheated, but they will lose some of their crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes. This helps to soften the cauliflower and release excess moisture. (7 minutes)
03
StepAllow the cauliflower to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then wring it out thoroughly using a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible; this is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns. Transfer the squeezed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. (10 minutes)
04
StepAdd the shredded Cheddar cheese, egg, bacon bits, diced chives, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the bowl with the cauliflower. Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
05
StepLightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
06
StepDivide the cauliflower mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval patty and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Flatten the patties slightly with your hands. (8 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown on the bottom. (20 minutes)
08
StepTurn the broiler on to low and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the tops are crispy and golden brown. (7 minutes)
09
StepRemove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to allow them to firm up slightly before serving. (5 minutes)

Jul 1, 2024The key is definitely squeezing out the moisture. Mine were a little soggy the first time, but perfect the second time around.
