Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Squeeze lemon juice into a large bowl and add in about 6 to 8 cups water. Set aside.

Wash sunchokes and Yukon gold potatoes to remove any dirt, leaving skins on. Cut potatoes and sunchokes into ½-inch to ¾-inch chunks and place in the lemon water. Let soak for 10 to 15 minutes before draining off the liquid.

Use a kitchen towel to pat dry the potatoes and sunchokes. Add them back to the bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to evenly coat.

Spread sunchokes and potatoes onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place on the middle rack of the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway through. Note: Roasting time depends on how crowded the pan is, as you want them to be slightly caramelized but not burnt.

Transfer to a serving bowl or platter, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Sunchokes Uniformly for Even Cooking 🔪
Dice both sunchokes and potatoes into similar-sized pieces (about ¾-inch cubes) so they roast at the same rate and achieve golden, crispy edges simultaneously.
Soak Sunchokes to Reduce Digestive Issues 💧
Soak cut sunchokes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch and inulin, which can cause bloating and improves their texture.
Pat Dry Before Roasting for Crispiness 🧻
Thoroughly dry both vegetables with paper towels after soaking—moisture prevents caramelization and crispy edges that make this dish truly exceptional.
Toss Halfway for Perfect Browning 🔄
Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting at 400°F (about 15 minutes in) to ensure even caramelization on all sides and prevent sticking to the pan.
Layer Salt for Maximum Flavor 🧂
Season with kosher salt before roasting for flavor development, then finish with flaky sea salt after cooking for a sophisticated textural contrast and enhanced taste.
