I'm always looking for healthy (or healthier) alternatives to serve with meals. I saw this made on Food TV and had to try it. It does have great flavor, is so easy to prepare and is so much more healthy than real hash browns. I did lower the salt amount since we thought it was quite salty as given. I did have to peel the parsnips because they were covered in/sealed with wax. The directions indicate to let the veggies cook, undisturbed, so that they can caramelize. Stirring them, supposedly, will cause them to more steam and not caramelize (which will give them such great flavor). Ingredients:
1/2 head cauliflower |
2 small parsnips or 1 large parsnip, unpeeled if possible |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste |
2 -4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped, to taste |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Slice cauliflower lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices.
2. Save the cauliflower crumbs. .
3. Thinly slice the parsnips.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. When hot add cauliflower slices and parsnips, spreading into a single layer, as possible.
6. DO NOT STIR.
7. Let vegetables cook until nicely browned on the bottom, approximately 3 minutes.
8. Add salt, cauliflower crumbs, garlic and red pepper flakes.
9. Gently stir.
10. Cook, stirring only once or twice, until vegetables are cooked through, approximately 5 more minutes.
11. Serve immediately.
