• Four 12-ounce sweet potatoes, scrubbed
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• Maldon salt
• 1/2 pound fresh chorizo, casings removed
• 3 cipollini onions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)

5. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
6. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering.
7. Add the chorizo and cook over moderately high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes.
8. Add the onions, chile and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is cooked through and the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes longer.

11. Unwrap the sweet potatoes and arrange on a platter.
