Roasted Sunchokes With Salsa Verde Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED PARSNIP AND SUNCHOKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sunchokes, parsnips, onions, garlic, rosemary, canola oil, salt and pepper and toss until thoroughly combined.
• Transfer to a sheet pan and roast until the vegetables are browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES (OR SUNCHOKES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Scrub Jerusalem artichoke tubers and cut out eyes. Cut tubers into 1-inch pieces.
• Mix olive oil, thyme, garlic, and sea salt together in a large bowl; add Jerusalem artichoke pieces and toss to coat. Arrange coated pieces in one evenly-spaced layer on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until Jerusalem artichokes are tender, 35 to 45 minutes.

ROASTED SUNCHOKE WITH CREAMY GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Spread the sunchokes out evenly on a baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix them around with your hands so everything gets evenly coated.
• Slice off the top part of the head of garlic to expose a small amount of the cloves. Place the head, root-side down, in a piece of aluminum foil. Season the top cut part with salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Wrap the garlic in the foil, creating a package, and place it on the baking sheet with the sunchokes. Roast until the sunchokes are brown and slightly tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
• While the sunchokes are still hot, smash them with a potato masher or fork. They should be smashed but not completely mashed up.
• In a large bowl, combine the goat cheese, chives, a generous pinch of salt and pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the smashed sunchokes. Take the garlic out of the foil. Squeeze the bulb so that the roasted cloves come out of the skins and fall into the bowl with the goat cheese and sunchokes. Stir it all up until the ingredients are blended and the sunchokes well coated. Serve immediately.
