Roasted Chorizo with Ginger

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange chorizo slices on a large baking sheet in a single layer.

   Tip: Don't overlap the slices to ensure even browning and crispy edges.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine minced ginger, sliced garlic, honey, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until well incorporated.

   Tip: Warm the mixture slightly to help the honey dissolve and blend with the other ingredients.

3. 3

   Drizzle the ginger mixture over the chorizo slices, then add thyme sprigs scattered throughout. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Toss gently with a spoon to coat the chorizo evenly while keeping the slices in a single layer.

4. 4

   Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chorizo is deeply caramelized and the edges are crispy.

   Tip: Watch carefully after 18 minutes to prevent burning; oven temperatures vary.

5. 5

   Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped scallions.

   Tip: The residual heat will continue to caramelize the edges slightly.
