4.9 from 53 reviews

These Spaghetti Squash Hash Browns are a delicious and healthy twist on classic hash browns, using precooked spaghetti squash combined with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and egg to create crispy, golden patties perfect for breakfast or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into thin patties of your desired size. This will help them cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
