I’ve been on a roasted vegetables craze the past month. It’s incredibly easy to prepare and the great thing about it is their versatility – a mix and match of whatever I have on the fridge turns into beautifully roasted vegetables that I’ve been using in all kinds of warm salads and even quick soups. For example, you can use half of this recipe’s batch with 150g of cooked red lentils and some water or homemade broth to make a creamy soup (add 1 small orange slice if desired) .
We found this combination of flavours quite pleasant as a side dish to accompany a winter meal and a nice way to eat Jerusalem artichokes.
Oh and we have a special treat for Christmas coming up later this week, stay tuned!

Roasted sunchokes & carrots with orange and rosemary
Serves 4-5
Notes: If sunchokes are hard to find in your area, try parsnip, potatoes turnip or another root vegetable.
- 400gr sunchokes
- 5 medium carrots
- 4 small rosemary sprigs + 1 TBsp chopped rosemary
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 orange, halved (1 half sliced, 1 half juiced)
- 2 TBsp olive oil
- ¾ tsp sea salt
- freshly milled black pepper
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Wash and scrub the sunchokes and carrots (or peel them if preferred) ; cut the sunchokes in halves or quarters, depending on size, and cut the carrots in thick sticks.
Place sunchokes, carrots, rosemary sprigs and sliced garlic in a baking tray and pour olive oil and orange juice, orange slices, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands to make sure everything is well coated and put in the oven for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Serve with freshly chopped rosemary.
Tenho andado ligeiramente obcecada com vegetais no forno neste último mês. São incrivelmente fáceis de preparar e versáteis nas suas aplicações – uma mistura do que temos no frigorífico transforma-se sem esforço num tabuleiro de legumes assados no forno que tenho usado em todo o tipo de saladas quentes e mesmo para fazer sopas rápidas. Por exemplo, podem usar metade da fornada desta receita com 150g de lentilhas vermelhas cozidas e água ou caldo caseiro para fazer uma sopa cremosa (podem adicionar também 1 fatia pequena de laranja).
Achámos esta combinação de sabores bem agradável como acompanhamento de uma refeição de fim de outono / inverno e uma boa maneira de servir tupinambos.
Ah, e temos uma surpresa especial para este Natal, fiquem atentos ao próximo post a sair no final da semana!
Cenouras e tupinambos no forno com laranja e rosmaninho
Serve 4-5
Notas: Se tupinambos forem difíceis de encontrar, podem substituí-los por pastinaca, nabos, batatas ou outra raíz tuberosa.
- 400g de tupinambos
- 5 cenouras médias
- 4 raminhos de rosmaninho + 1 c. de sopa de rosmaninho fresco picado
- 4 dentes de alho, cortados em fatias
- 1 laranja (1 metade cortada em fatias, outra metade para sumo)
- 2 c. de sopa de azeite
- ¾ c. de chá de sal marinho, ou a gosto
- pimenta preta moída de fresco
Pré aquecer o forno a 180°C.
Lavar e limpar bem os tupinambos e as cenouras com uma escova (ou descascar, se desejado); cortar os tupinambos em metades ou quartos, conforme o tamanho; cortar as cenouras em palitos grossos.
Colocar num tabuleiro de forno os tupinambos, as cenouras, os ramos de rosmaninho e o alho e regar com o azeite e sumo de laranja, fatias de laranja, sal e pimenta. Misturar com as mãos para que tudo fique revestido do molho e levar ao forno durante 30 minutos ou até os vegetais estiverem tenros.
Servir com rosmaninho fresco picado.
Love your photo’s!
I have never tried roasted sunchokes, but I can’t wait to give it a try!
Thank you Natalia, let me know how you find it! *s
I live on roasted vegetables during winter. It’s so easy to roast a tray of whatever you have, then use the vegetables in various ways over a couple of days. The concentrated flavours are so good! Carrots are one of my favourite vegetables to roast.
Couldn’t agree more! I can’t resist winter squash and stock up in those lovely butternuts and hokkaidos!
Roasted veggies are among my favourite cold weather meals. I haven’t tried roasted sunchokes before but it looks like they are delicious! I love your creative spin on this – so lovely, Sil!
Thanks Christine, I also love how a tray of roasted vegetables can bring so much colour to the table in winter time. *s
