Ingredients
450g Jerusalem artichokes, well-scrubbed
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
a few rosemary or thyme
sprigs, optional
Method
Heat the oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Slice the well-scrubbed artichokes into 7mm rounds or lengthwise. Toss the Jerusalem artichokes with the extra virgin olive oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Arrange in a single layer on silicone paper on a roasting tin. Roast for 10 minutes or until golden on one side then flip over and cook on the other side until nicely caramelised. Test with the tip of a knife. They should be tender.
One could sprinkle with a little thyme or rosemary, but they are perfectly delicious without any further embellishment. Season with freshly-ground pepper and serve.
