Oven Fried Chicken with Cali Mash

Ingredients

2 chicken drumsticks

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 Tablespoons hemp hearts (hulled hemp seeds)

½ teaspoon each: oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups cauliflower florets

½ Tablespoon coconut oil

¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking pan with foil.

Place chicken on pan and brush with the 1 Tablespoon olive oil; set aside.

In a large plastic zip top bag, combine nutritional yeast, hemp hearts and seasonings. Add chicken coated with oil, zip bag securely and shake to coat chicken completely with seasoning.

Remove chicken from bag, place on pan and cook at 400F 10 minutes. (Discard bag.)

Reduce oven heat to 350F and cook an additional 20 minutes.

While chicken cooks, steam cauliflower until very tender, about 10 minutes. When tender, place cauliflower in food processor (or use immersion blender if you have one) and process with coconut oil and salt until completely smooth.

When chicken is cooked through and crisp on the exterior, remove from oven and serve with cauliflower mash.
