Ingredients
- 1 lb. of Jerusalem artichokes
- olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 tsp of fresh thyme or to taste
- 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese + extra for gratinating
- 3/4 cup of bread crumbs, those like panko are good, but plain will do
- 3 tbsp of butter
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
- Wash the Jerusalem artichokes. Slice the Jerusalem artichokes into 1/8 inch thick slices.
- Peel the garlic and chop it finely.
- Place the sliced Jerusalem artichokes into a large bowl with the garlic. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat the slices. Add the thyme. Mix well.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the mixture and toss making sure the cheese is well distributed.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Spray a 12 hole muffin pan with nonstick spray. Stack the slices up in the muffin holes, distributing the slices evenly across the pan. Cover the muffin pan with aluminum foil.
- Bake the Jerusalem artichoke stacks for 35-40 minutes or until they are soft and tender.
- While the Jerusalem artichokes bake, melt 3 tbsp of butter over medium heat in a large frying pan. When the butter is melted and no longer foaming, add the bread crumbs and toss or stir until all the butter is absorbed. Cook the bread crumbs, tossing often, for another minute. Do not brown the bread crumbs. Pour the bread crumbs in a bowl and set aside to cool.
- When the Jerusalem artichokes are done cooking, remove the foil. Increase the temperature of the oven to 400F.
- Spoon the buttered bread crumbs over the stacks in each muffin pan hole. Add a sprinkling of parmesan over the bread crumbs.
- Bake the Jerusalem artichokes another 10 minutes until the bread crumbs are brown, the cheese is melted and the stacks are heated through.
