Ingredients

1 pound sunchokes
2 teaspoons olive oil, optional*
1/3 cup hazelnuts roasted, skinned and coarsley chopped**
2 tablespoons lemon juice plus more to taste
1/4 cup parsley chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Cut the sunchokes crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces and place them on the prepared sheet pan. If you have a strangely shaped sunchoke, do your best to chop it into similar sized pieces so they all roast evenly. Next, toss the sunchokes with olive oil.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown and fork tender. Sunchokes can quickly turn mushy if roasted too long, so keep a close eye on them the last 5 minutes of roasting.
Remove the sunchokes from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Toss with lemon juice, toasted hazelnuts and parsley. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

*Nutrition facts are calculated using olive oil. If you would like to roast these without oil, drizzle a couple tablespoons of water over the sunchokes before roasting.
