A one dish meal with roasted root vegetables and Mexican chorizo.
"*" See Kitchen Notes for more information or links to special ingredients.
Root vegetables – The combination that I used here is our favorite, but you can use whichever root vegetables you like. The sweet potatoes could also be substituted with a winter squash. Red beets do tend to bleed which doesn’t make the final dish very pretty, but golden beets work.
Mexican Chorizo – You can use bulk chorizo or buy it in a casing. If you buy it in a casing, 2 links is usually about a half of pound. Remove the casing and crumble the sausage or you may choose to just slice the chorizo instead of crumbling it.
Substitution for chorizo – This dish can be made with Italian sausage (we like spicy Italian), regular pork sausage, or any uncooked sausage of your choice.
Vegetarian version – Omit the chorizo. Increase the red chile powder to 1 tsp. and add ¼ – ½ tsp. chipotle powder (depending on how hot your chipotle powder is). For the protein, top each serving with an egg.
