Jicama Veggie Hash Brown Patties and More Breakfast Recipes with Vegetables

Oct 5 2021
Hash browns are a breakfast classic, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't play around with which veggies we hash-brown! (That's "hash-brown" as a verb, FYI.) Today, we're hash-browning jicama for a super-size portion with fewer net carbs and more fiber than classic potato hash browns. It's sooooo good…



Hungry Girl's Healthy Jicama Hash Brown Patties Recipe

1/2 of recipe (1 hash brown): 130 calories, 6.5g total fat (1g sat. fat), 350mg sodium, 13g carbs, 6.5g fiber, 2.5g sugars, 4g protein

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups peeled and grated jicama

1/4 cup (about 2 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute

1 tbsp. olive oil, divided

 

Seasonings:

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

 

Optional dip: ketchup

Directions:

Using a clean dish towel (or paper towels), firmly press out as much liquid as possible from jicama in a strainer — there will be a lot of liquid. (See HG Tip below.)

Place jicama in a medium-large bowl. Add egg whites/substitute and seasonings. Mix until uniform.

Spray a skillet with nonstick spray, and drizzle with 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil. Bring to high heat. Once oil begins to bubble, immediately reduce to medium-high heat.

Form 1/2 of the jicama mixture into a mound in the skillet. Flatten into a large patty about 1/4 inch thick. Cook until slightly crispy, lightly browned, and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, flipping carefully. Transfer to paper towels to soak up excess oil.

Repeat this process with remaining 1 1/2 tsp. olive oil and jicama mixture, adding the oil carefully to avoid splattering, for a total of 2 hash browns. (Keep an eye on it… It'll likely cook faster than the first one.)

HG Tip: Great kitchen hack! To easily remove extra liquid from the jicama, place it in a salad spinner before pressing it with a towel.
