Cauliflower Hash Browns

Makes 6  5" hash brown patties, or 12-18 mini patties

INGREDIENTS

1 large head cauliflower

2 egg, lightly beaten
½ C Parmesan cheese

¼ C scallions

¼ C chives

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 T olive oil

1 T dried basil

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Optional: dipping sauce(s)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Grate cauliflower. Thinly slice scallions. Finely chop chives. Grate Parmesan.

Place cauliflower in bowl; sprinkle with ½ tsp salt. Stir; let stand 20 minutes.

Squeeze or strain moisture from cauliflower (use a strainer or use a towel to 'wring' it out); return to bowl.

Stir in egg, cheese, chives, garlic, olive oil, basil, black pepper, and remaining ½ tsp salt.

Line baking sheet with parchment; coat lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Divide cauliflower mixture into 6 portions on tray; shape and press to about ½-¾" thick.

Bake 35-40 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool to set (about 15 min).

Best served warm -- with dipping sauce(s) if desired.
