  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 355F.
  2. Scatter the sweet potato cubes over a baking tray, drizzle with a little oil and shake over any herbs you’d like to add, as well as plenty of salt and pepper
  3. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until soft and starting to caramelize.
  4. Five minutes before the sweet potatoes are done, dry fry the chorizo cubes.
  5. Toast slices of bread, then drizzle with a little olive oil and grind over a little salt.

Notes

  • *Butternut squash or regular pumpkin works well too (about 270 grams / 9.5 ounces) - just roast for about the same amount of time or until tender
