From Bon Appetit.- Ingredients:
- 1 lb. beets, peeled, cut into 1/2 in. wedges
- 4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb. carrots, sliced 1/4 in. thick
- 1 lb. Jerusalem artichokes (also called sunchokes), unpeeled, sliced 1/4 in. thick
- 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 tsp. Aleppo pepper or hot paprika, plus more to taste
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice, divided, plus more to taste
Preheat oven to 425°. Toss beets with 1 Tbsp. oil on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet; arrange in a single layer and season with salt and black pepper. Roast 20 minutes, then turn over wedges and continue to roast until beets are tender and darkened around the edges, about 30 minutes total.
Toss carrots with 1 Tbsp. oil on one half of a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet. Toss Jerusalem artichokes with 1 Tbsp. oil on the other half of the baking sheet. Arrange carrots and Jerusalem artichokes in a single layer, season with salt and black pepper, and roast until vegetables are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Toss all the warm roasted vegetables together with lemon zest, 1/4 tsp. Aleppo pepper, and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Season with salt, Aleppo pepper, and lemon juice.
