Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken (minced chicken) - minced
1 head cauliflower - chopped into florets- 1 cup Brussels sprouts hearts
⅓ cup coconut oil - melted
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon Himalayan salt (pink salt)
½ tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
5 tablespoons hot sauce
¾ cup mushrooms - sliced
1 ½ cup cheddar cheese - shredded
6 slices bacon - crumbled
¾ cup green onions (scallions or green shallots) - sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, combine melted coconut oil, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and hot sauce. Add cauliflower florets and Brussels sprout hearts and stir to coat.
- Place the cauliflower mixture in a 9x13 roasting pan lined with foil leaving as much of the buffalo sauce in the bowl. Roast for 35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. I coated the foil with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
