Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes with Paprika and Lemon Aioli

Roasted Jerusalem Artichokes with Paprika and Lemon Aioli

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 4 snack sizes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Jerusalem artichokes washed no need to peel
  • 200 ml olive oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 lemon zest
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Halve or quarter your artichokes into fingers about 2cm thick. Cook in salted boiling water for 15-20 minutes, until soft but not falling apart. Drain and allow to dry.
  • While artichokes are drying, preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
  • Toss the artichokes in 100 ml of the oil, and arrange on a tray in a single layer. Sprinkle with a bit of salt, and roast for 45-50 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crispy.
  • While the artichokes are roasting, prepare the aioli.
  • Using a hand blender, or food processor, blend the egg yolk with the mustard, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt. Add the remaining oil in a thin stream, while blending, until spoonably thick (you might not need all).
  • Add the lemon zest and juice, a little at a time, until satisfied. (If the aioli is too bitter, try adding more salt.) Sprinkle in some paprika, and loosen with a little water if desired.
  • Once the artichokes are roasted, season with paprika, toss, and serve.

Notes

Make sure to use good quality olive oil, to prevent it tasting bitter. Or, use any other mild flavored oil.
