1 lb cauliflower (cut into very small florets (see photos for reference)

9-10 oz carrots (about 3-4 large carrots), thinly sliced on the bias/diagonal)

¾ medium red onion (cut into large chunks*)

2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)

2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp kosher salt

¼ tsp black pepper

cayenne (optional, to taste)

½ cup full-fat plain greek yogurt or skyr

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1-1.5 tbsp milk (or buttermilk)

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 400F. Then, add chickpeas, cauliflower, carrots and red onion to an extra-large baking sheet (21x15"). If you don't own one this big, I recommend splitting it between two normal-sized baking sheets to prevent overlap. Then, drizzle oil and seasonings over top. Toss to coat and spread out evenly on the baking sheet(s). Transfer to the oven to roast for about 10 minutes.

While the veggies are roasting, prepare the buffalo chicken meatballs. In a large bowl, add the egg, coconut flour, buffalo sauce, garlic, red onion and seasonings. Use a fork to stir until combined. Then, add in ground chicken and use your hands to gently incorporate, without over-mixing.

Remove baking sheet from the oven and scoop out 2 tbsp of the ground chicken mixture. Roll into a ball and then nestle the meatballs onto the baking sheet. It should make about 16-18. Transfer back to the oven and cook for 20 more minutes. Optionally, switch your oven to broil for a few more minutes at the end.

Meanwhile, add all of the herb yogurt sauce ingredients to a small bowl or jar and stir until combined and smooth. Adjust the amount of milk to get it to a drizzle-able consistency.

Once the sheet pan meal is done baking, drizzle on the herb yogurt sauce, more buffalo sauce and optionally garnish with some fresh dill. Enjoy!
