Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded spaghetti squash
- 1 tbsp oil (olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil)
- Heat the oil: Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying the patties.
- Drain the squash: Press the water and moisture out of the cooked spaghetti squash using paper towels or wring it out in a clean kitchen towel to ensure patties hold together and crisp up.
- Form patties: Take about 2 tablespoons of the shredded squash and press it firmly between your palms to make compact patties.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties gently onto the warmed skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, flipping only once if possible to develop a nice browned and crispy crust.
- Drain and serve: Transfer the cooked hash browns to paper towels to drain any excess oil, then serve warm for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the spaghetti squash to avoid soggy hash browns.
- Use a non-stick skillet and appropriate oil with high smoke point like avocado or coconut oil for best results.
- Flipping the patties only once helps achieve a beautiful golden crust on each side.
- These hash browns can be served as a side for breakfast or as a snack.
