Ingredients

Scale
  • 46 sunchokes (12 per person)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper to your liking

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium-sized saucepan halfway full of water. Set it on high on the stove to boil.
  2. Scrub the sunchokes, just like you would a potato.
  3. Add the sunchokes to the pot of water, cook on medium-high for approximately 40 minutes. Test them with a fork to check that they are tender. Remove from the pot of water and place on a cutting board.
  4. Take your frying pan and smash the sunchokes. Don’t use too much force, you just want to flatten them, not smash them to pieces.
  5. Add olive oil to a sauté pan and kick the heat up to medium-high. Once the pan is hot, approximately 1-2 minutes, add the sunchokes.
  6. Sprinkle the thyme, salt, and pepper on the sunchokes. Flip once they begin to turn golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
  7. Re-season on this side and cook for another 5 minutes or so until the second side is golden brown as well. Remove from pan and serve. Yum!
