Recipe Tips
- Cauliflower can be a pretty watery vegetable which is why we try to squeeze out the moisture and cook out moisture before turning it into hashbrowns. If your mixture ends up slightly watery, add one tablespoon of coconut flour to absorb the water excess, and problem solved!
- You can use frozen riced cauliflower instead of fresh. To do this, simply cook the cauliflower in the microwave until it’s soft and then prepare it in the same manner as fresh (squeezing out moisture, etc).
- To reheat your leftovers, simply place the hashbrowns on a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through. Alternatively, you can cook them in a skillet to et them warm and crispy.
