Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes (aka sunchokes) are a fantastic, healthy, easy side dish. They have a mild creamy, nutty flavor similar to water chestnuts. Did you know that Roasted Jerusalem artichokes are nutritional powerhouses? These quaint root veggies contain iron, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and water-soluble vitamins. See SFGATE, Health Benefits of Jerusalem Artichokes. Sunchokes are also high in inulin, an indigestible starchy substance that helps manage weight and prevent diabetes. See WebMD, Inulin.
Preheat oven to 400F (204 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and scrub Jerusalem artichokes (aka sunchokes). Cut the bigger sunchokes in thirds and the smaller sunchokes in halves.
In a large bowl, mix the sunchokes with thyme, oil, pepper (or grains of paradise ) and salt.
Transfer to the baking sheet and roast at 400F (204 C) for 35 to 40 minutes. To ensure uniform cooking, flip the sunchokes after the first 20 minutes of roasting. Serve the Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes warm. It's a nourishing, low carb side to a light meal.
