The Pesky Vegan

Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 lb (700 g) Jerusalem artichokes
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
  • Clean the artichokes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If you have time, it can help to soak them in water first. Cut the artichokes into similar bite-sized pieces, i.e. larger ones into quarters and smaller ones left whole.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil in a large oven dish and add the artichokes. Season well with salt and pepper, drizzle over a little more oil, then shake to coat everything.
  • Roast in the oven for around 30-40 minutes or until golden and crispy, shaking now and then during cooking.
  • Remove from the oven and serve. For extra flavour, squeeze over a little lemon juice before serving.

Notes

Other flavours: Try roasting the artichokes along with garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs, or sprinkle with spices such as cumin and smoked paprika.
Tofu bacon: You could also combine this recipe with my recipe for vegan pancetta and roast everything in the same dish.
Storage: The cooked artichokes should keep in the fridge for up to four days or freezer for up to six months.
