How to Make Cauliflower Hash Browns

  1. Preheat your iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Slice 1 medium head of cauliflower lengthwise into ⅛-inch thick slices.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the preheated iron skillet.
  4. Once hot (but not smoking), add the cauliflower slices in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  5. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is nicely browned and slightly crispy.
  6. Gently flip the cauliflower slices and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
  7. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste) over the cauliflower.
  8. Stir gently to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy cauliflower hash browns!
