Spaghetti Squash Hash Browns
- 2 cups spaghetti squash (precooked)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Drain Spaghetti Squash: Squeeze the excess water from your pre-cooked spaghetti squash using your hands or a clean towel. The drier the squash, the better the texture will be for the hash browns.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained spaghetti squash with the egg, shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into thin patties of your desired size. This will help them cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Cook Patties: Heat a well-greased skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until each side is nicely browned and crisp.
- Alternative Cooking Method: If preferred, instead of forming patties, you can toss the mixture directly into the skillet and stir often to create a more traditional hash brown texture.
- Serve: Remove the hash browns from the skillet and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the spaghetti squash to avoid soggy hash browns.
- Use fresh parmesan cheese for best flavor and melting properties.
- Season with additional herbs or spices like paprika or chives for variety.
- This recipe works well with leftover spaghetti squash or freshly cooked squash.
- Serve with eggs, avocado, or your favorite breakfast sides for a complete meal.
