*Use carrots or butternut squash instead of sweet potato. Use broccoli or Brussels sprouts instead of cauliflower
*Chipotle en adobo are smoked jalapeños (chipotles) soaked in a sweet-and-sour sauce and are easy to find now. Look in the Mexican foods aisle of your store. They are sold in small cans. After opening, transfer remaining chiles and sauce into a small jar for longer storage in the fridge.
