A simple and healthy twist on classic hash browns using spaghetti squash instead of potatoes. These crispy, golden hash browns are perfect for a low-carb breakfast or side, combining shredded spaghetti squash, eggs, and seasoning fried to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3–4 pounds)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash: Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Roast it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 40 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly, then use a fork to shred the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Transfer the shredded squash into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispiness. In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed squash with eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the eggs are evenly distributed.
  3. Heat the Pan: Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  4. Form and Fry Hash Browns: Scoop about 1/3 cup of the squash mixture and shape it into a patty. Carefully place the patty into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil if necessary.
  5. Serve: Once all hash browns are cooked, drain them on paper towels if desired to remove excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious breakfast or side dish.

Notes

  • Removing excess moisture from the squash is key to crispy hash browns.
  • You can add herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit cheese or add nutritional yeast.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding paprika or onion powder if desired.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding hash browns to get a good crust.
