Ingredients
- 500 grams sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) to remove any dirt, as their skin is edible. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut the sunchokes into uniform pieces, roughly 1-inch in size, to ensure even roasting.
Step 4
Place the sunchokes in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
Add the kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and optional ingredients like garlic cloves and chopped rosemary. Mix well to distribute the seasonings.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned sunchokes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the sunchokes halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm.
