Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds Sunflower Chokes Sunchokes
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1-2 Tablespoons dried herbs
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the sunchokes in a microwave safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Once the sunchokes have cooled enough to handle, lay them out on a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper. Using a glass, gently smash the sunchokes down.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter and then top with salt, pepper garlic powder and herbs to taste.
  • Place them in your air fryer in a single layer, at 400 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Check them at about the 6-7 minute mark and shake the basket a little to toss them around.
  • Finish cooking - total time about 10 minutes or so (all air fryers vary!). Remove from air fryer when finished, toss in more butter and herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
