Total time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rendered chicken fat, unsalted butter or olive oil
- 8 large Jerusalem artichokes
- 3 tablespoons water
- Big handful of coarse salt
- Pretzel salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Leaves from 3 sprigs of thyme
- Ketchup, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Smear the chicken fat, butter or olive oil onto a rimmed, nonstick baking sheet.
- Place the artichokes in a large, heavy-duty lock-top plastic bag and add the water to the bag. Add the coarse salt, seal the bag and shake well. Open the bag and rinse the artichokes thoroughly. (This is a great way to clean Jerusalem artichokes. It removes dirt and debris better than your hands would.) 3. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and arrange them, cut side down, in a single layer on the prepared pan. Season them generously with the pretzel salt and pepper. Scatter the thyme leaves evenly over the top.
- Place the artichokes in the oven and cook for 45 minutes. Turn the artichokes and cook for another 30 minutes or until browned and slightly shriveled.
- Take the artichokes out of the oven, let cool and serve with ketchup.
