    • 10 oz Pork Chorizo
    • 1 Pie Crust
    • 4 Pasture-Raised Eggs

    • ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cauliflower; cut into small florets. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater.

    Place the cauliflower florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a bowl. Add the ranch dressing and toss to thoroughly coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.
