Add a fresh flavour to your plates with romanesco. Whilst some call it a broccoli and some call it a cauliflower, it's actually a brassica variety known as a broccoflower! The striking formation of florets makes it a showstopping alternative for your plate with a nuttier and sweeter flavour than its cousins.

Cooking Steps
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Trim and slice the sweet potato in half lengthways, then cut into 1cm half moons (no need to peel).
Put the sweet potato onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over half the Central American style spice mix, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
Roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.
Lay the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
When the oven is hot, roast the chicken on the top shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
Cut the romanesco into florets (like small trees), halving any large ones.
Halve, peel and slice half the red onion as thinly as you can. Cut the remaining half into 3cm wedges.
Pop the thinly sliced onion into a small bowl and add the cider vinegar and sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount). Add a pinch of salt, mix together and set aside to pickle.
When the chicken has around 15 mins remaining, remove the tray from the oven and pop the romanesco, onion wedges and bell pepper alongside the chicken. Sprinkle over the remaining Central American style spice mix. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
Return to the top shelf of your oven until golden brown and tender, 15-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
While everything roasts, heat drizzle of oil in a small saucepan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
Once browned, spoon the chorizo into a small bowl and set aside for later, keeping as much of the chorizo oil as possible in the saucepan (it all adds to the flavour!).
Return the saucepan to medium heat with another drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the garlic and half the chipotle paste. Fry until fragrant, 1 min.
Add the crushed peanuts, water and honey (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt. Set aside for later.
In a small bowl, combine the soured cream and remaining chipotle (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
When the veg has finished roasting, pop all the veg onto the same tray and spoon over the peanut sauce. Toss to coat everything.
Thinly slice the chicken widthways.
Share the roasted veg jumble between your serving bowls. Top with the chicken.
Spoon over the chipotle soured cream, then sprinkle over the chorizo and pickled onion, spooning over any of the pickling liquids if you'd like.
