Roasted Sunchokes (Jerusalem Artichokes)

 

This recipe is very simple. You can roast the sunckokes along with any meat you’re roasting. Just add them to the roasting pan about 30 min. before meat is done. Turn them in pan juices so they are covered with oil. Sunchokes should be soft throughout, but not mushy. Pierce with a sharp knife to test.

Scrub sunchokes and cut them, if large, so pieces are about the same size for even cooking. Place sunchokes in baking dish and drizzle with oil, salt and pepper. Turn to coat evenly. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-45 min.

Variation:
Roast several root vegetables in a medley, e.g. potatoes, celery root, beets, parsnip, burdock etc.
Proceed same as above.
