Cheesy Cauli Hash Brown Breakfast Bake (Gluten Free with Keto Option)

This deliciously Cheesy Cauliflower Hash Browns Casserole is an easy side dish recipe that’s packed with veggies and plenty of cheddar cheese. With a golden brown top and crispy edges, everyone will be ready to dig into this breakfast bake first thing in the morning, or for brunch or dinner. Made with only a handful of ingredients, it is naturally gluten free and one simple swap makes it low carb and keto-friendly, as well!

Even though we may not be strictly low carb in our house, I do just love cauliflower. I’m happy to enjoy your basic roasted cauliflower. But its magical powers to transform into almost anything make it a great way to not only cut down on some of those extra carbs, but also to get the kids to eat more veggies.

This recipe can be made up to two days in advance and reheated before serving.

You can throw the entire pan back in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or cut individual squares and place them on a baking sheet. This will get you the browned edges on all sides.

The squares can also be crisped up in an air fryer at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, or until hot and brown and crispy on the edges.
