What is Zero Point Hash Browns?
Hmm, good question.
As you know I have been back to keeping my weight down and trying to get super fit. It is always a challenge. I have been there and back, there and back and back again. You know what I mean when one always have a challenge trying to keep one’s weight on a healthy level. I am back at Weight-Watchers again and it is taking me ages to get to my goal. I am still plodding along.
There are no food that is out-of-bounds. However, I notice the way the plan is done is that it gravitates one to less carbo consumption. So there is a need to reduce my carbo intake.
This is the nearest I can get to enjoy hash browns. It is not that I am particularly fond of hash, mash or chips. It is just that I need to have more zero-point food. I don’t like cauliflower rice. Rice has to taste like rice, me being Asian ( Asian as from the Asian continent, not the Asian as in what the Brits understand). And cauli rice is bitter. I prefer cauli as a stir-fry. Sometimes I do crave for carbo. So this is a good substitute.
Quick info:
Serves: 4
Level of difficulty: easy
Time: 10 mins to prep 25 mins to bake
Ingredients:
2 cans (400 g ) Chick pea , drained
1 red onion – chopped
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra spices if you fancy.
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to gas MK 5 or 190 C.
- Lightly crush the chickpeas so that you have some that are crushed and some whole. This will give some texture to the ‘hash’.
- Combine all the ingredients.
- Line a baking tray with non-stick parchment.
- Divide the mixture into 2. Shape both into a rectangle. Divide each into 6 pieces, making sure there is space in between to ensure that it will crisp when baked.
- Spray with calorie controlled oil spray.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until crispy.
- Remove and serve with your favourite breakfast, tea or dinner.
Note:
In the photo, I have used some spices to add extra flavour to the hash. Just making it more interesting.
