If no $z\in S^1$ obeyed $z^n=-g(z)$, the loops $z^n$ and $-g(z)$ could be joined without crossing zero by the straight-line homotopy, so they would have equal <winding number>. The first has winding $n$. Since $g|_{S^1}$ extends over the disc, it is null-homotopic and has winding $0$; multiplication by $-1$ does not change it. This contradicts $n\ne0$.
