Perfect Paleo Breakfast Hashbrowns
Cauliflower is enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight for its versatility and mild flavor that can be transformed into rice, pizza crust and, now, even hashbrowns using this easy method.
I know you may be thinking this is one of those overly healthy recipes that could never live up to its potato counterpart, but seriously, these cauliflower hashbrowns with their brown crispy edges and pillowy centers will make you a convert.
Low Carb Brunch Side
A paleo lifestyle is commonly referred to as ‘the caveman diet’ because it includes unprocessed foods that were staples for hunters and gatherers. In the present day, that equates to building meals around meat, fish, eggs, seeds, nuts, fruits and veggies, along with healthy fats and oils. Foods to avoid include anything processed, grains, sugar, legumes and most dairy.
Without counting or restricting calories, paleo meals are naturally low-carb, no sugar added, and heart-healthy. As a breakfast side, these cauliflower hashbrowns make the perfect compliment to a veggie frittata. You can also use them as a base for a paleo eggs benedict and top with avocado, runny eggs and meat of your choice.
A paleo lifestyle has been shown to decrease obesity, diabetes and heart disease with a focus on whole foods. We offer an easy to follow paleo meal plan if you’re looking to make the transition to a healthier diet.
