Recipe Overview

This recipe was inspired by choripan, a dish traditionally made with grilled chorizo sausages in a bread roll topped with chimichurri sauce. I’ve put a healthier twist on it by using sweet potatoes instead of bread.

This dish consists of three main elements:

• Jammy Roasted Sweet Potatoes – slow roasted sweet potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper until caramelized.
• Chorizo – pan-fried or grilled sliced chorizo for a crispy texture and savory flavor.
• Chimichurri – a tangy, garlicky sauce that brings everything together with its acidity and vibrant color.
• New to chimichurri? It’s an Argentinian/Uruguayan condiment commonly served with steak.

These components can be prepared simultaneously, making it a convenient meal option. The recipe serves 4 and pairs well with a side of greens or a simple salad.
