Roasted Carrots and Chorizo

This worked out great for me and was really easy. Had to sub in some sliced potatoes because i was short on carrots and the cook time was just right for both veg types. The chorizo is critical so if you don't like how your chorizo tastes, don't bother moving forward. I found a legit "made in Spain" chorizo that tasted amazing on its own and it made the whole dish. Lemon makes it better but you could probably skip it and not miss it too much.

If you can't find Spanish chorizo, try looking for linguicia - Portuguese sausage, very similar. Silva brand (yellow package) is the one I've see most often, in several different states.

A little more info on the thickness of the carrot and chorizo slices might have helped here. I’d advise something like a quarter inch thick and maybe bias cut. I went thinner than that and it was fine but… Any cured chorizo will do here, I think. And multi-color carrots make it prettier than just orange ones. I served it with Spanish-style, paprika and herb chicken thighs in a brava sauce. Finished both with lemon juice and flake salt. Really nice side dish; will make again.
