Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sunchokes about 7 medium
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil see note below
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped optional
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash sunchokes thoroughly, using a brunch if you have one.
  • Once dry, slice sunchokes into approximate 1/2 inch pieces. Do not remove skin.
  • Coat sunchokes with oil, salt, rosemary, and pepper. Mix to even out.
  • Place sunchokes into air fryer basket. It is okay if pieces overlap since you will be shaking basket throughout cooking process to even out.
  • Air fry sunchokes at 400 degrees for 15-16 minutes, stopping the fryer every 4-5 minutes to shake the basket to balance cooking across sunchoke pieces.
    NOTE: The 15-16 minute cook time is for a basket style air fryer. If you are using a wider air fryer with a larger surface and the sunchoke pieces are not overlapping much, sunchokes will cook quicker than 15 minutes so be sure to check every 4 to 5 minutes for doneness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy best texture. Enjoy with dip of choice or alone.

Notes

Oil Free: If you are avoiding oil, you can cook the sunchokes without it; they will just be a bit less crispy.
Leftovers: Store leftovers in refrigerator (I do not recommend freezing). To reheat, throw back in air fryer for 1-3 minutes, checking each minute so you don't burn them.
