The idea of making these low-carb vegan baked cauliflower hash browns came into my mind when I had a bag of vegan shredded cheese that I didn't like at all and it was close to the expiration date. Then I brainstormed to find some ideas how to use it. That's how this recipe was born! Although I tried the vegan shredded cheese in many recipes, I liked it the most in this recipe.
This recipe is super easy, kid-friendly if you omit using the chili powder and super yum.
This low-carb vegan baked cauliflower hash brown is healthy, because:
- it's baked.
- It's vegan.
- It's low-carb.
- It's nutrition packed and veggie packed.
- And it's keto friendly too if you omit that Panko.
Now the recipe:
Step-1: Prepare the cauliflower.
- Wash the head of the cauliflower and cut into small florets.
- Pulse in a food processor till it becomes granular not paste like.
- Now take the processed cauliflower in a kitchen cloth.
- Add some salt and let it stand for few minutes.

Step-2: Prepare the mixture.
- Take drained cauliflower in a bowl. (2 cups)
- Add 1 cup of vegan shredded mozzarella cheese.( you can add mozzarella or cheddar as well. I used Daiya cheese)

- Add a pinch of turmeric and half a teaspoon of chili powder.
- Mix well to combine.

Step-3: Bake.
Prepare small patties by taking a small lemon size dough on your palm and pressing it with the help of both the palms.
- Preheat the oven at 350F.
- Place all patties or harsh browns on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until both the sides are evenly brown and the patties are crispy.

Funnily enough I brought some cauliflower home from the grocer's yesterday and was just going to make cauliflower cheese but I think I want to try these patties instead! They look so good!
Claire
Very tasty but the patties would not stick together! Any ideas for getting them to stick together?
Sophie
I suspect the dough must have become dry. You may want to add one or more chia egg or flax egg(if vegan) or some mozzarella cheese(if vegetarian) and knead the dough. Usually, the moisture from cauliflower, onion and herbs work easily with almond meal or panko while making this recipe. Kneading helps a lot.
