Ingredients
- 600 g sweet potato skin left on and chopped into 2cm / 1inch chunks
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs (or legs or a mixture)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Handful rosemary (or thyme, or a mixture)
- 150 g chorizo sliced into rounds the thickness of a £1 coin
- 150 g cherry tomatoes left whole
- 3 cloves garlic sliced thinly
- Green salad or steamed green veg to serve (optional)
- crusty baguette (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks (roughly 30g / 1oz per chunk) and place on a large baking tray. Add the chicken thighs and/or legs to the tray along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a handful of thyme and/or rosemary and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, toss everything in the oil, so it is evenly coated, then spread all the ingredients out so they are in one layer and the chicken is skin-side up.
- Roast in your preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the chicken from the tray and add in the sliced chorizo, garlic and whole cherry tomatoes.
- Using a large spoon, toss everything together to coat in the oil/juices and then spread everything out again into one even layer. Place the chicken back on top, skin side up.
- Roast in the oven for a further 20 minutes. (keep an eye on the chorizo to make sure it doesn’t burn)
- Serve the traybake on its own, or with a green salad or steamed green veg, and with some crusty French bread to mop up the juices.
