Roasted Sunchokes with Caramelized Shallots and Baby Sweet Peppers

Roasting sunchokes is a nice alternative to potatoes, if you're looking to cut the starch and carb count. Piling the roasted sunchokes that are mixed together with the caramelized veggies, on a plate and finishing them with some of our extra virgin olive oil is a fantastic starter dish or side dinner dish. Serves 4 to 6.
Course Side Dish
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • About 4 to 5 sunchokes rinsed, scrubbed and dried well
  • 3 Tbsp Sigona's Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil such as the 2022 Italian Nocellara or Greek Kalamata Reserve, plus more for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large shallot
  • 4 sweet baby peppers
  • Half a fresh lemon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the sunchokes into 2" chunks. Toss them with 2 Tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for about 15 to 20 minutes (shake the pan half way through) or until sunchokes are fork tender and nicely browned.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and peppers. Season with salt and pepper and stir to coat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, add in the roasted sunchokes and cook, stirring frequently, until shallots are caramelized and the peppers are tender and slightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. If necessary, add a tablespoon or so of water to the pan to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan while stirring.
  • To plate: Pile the sunchoke mixture on a serving plate. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, to taste, and finish the dish with a drizzle of olive oil.
