Ingredients
SERVES 2
- 340 g (12 oz) frozen cauliflower rice – thawed
- 15 g (2 tbsp) arrowroot starch (optional)
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and other seasonings to taste
- 226 g (8 oz) cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
- Squeeze out most of the extra liquid from the cauliflower.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, arrowroot starch and seasonings. Toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.
- Add the shredded cheese to the cauliflower and stir to combine.
- Divide the hash browns into 12 equal portions and place the mixture into the centre of each well, make sure not to overfill. Press the top of the iron down to flatten the mixture. Cook until golden. It is best to cook these for longer than expected, they should easily release from the waffle iron when the cheese has crisped.
- Or you can cook in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Shape the portions into thick patties and fry on each side until crispy and golden brown.
- Serve with a fried egg and greens.
