Roasted Sunchokes
Pre-heat the oven to 375ºF. Wash and scrub sunchokes but do not peel. Rub sunchokes with a little olive oil and roast in the oven. Sunchokes take longer to roast than a baked potato but watch them a bit or they become soft and mushy. Roast for about an hour. If they are still crunchy, let them roast about ten minutes longer.
NOTE
Sunchokes were likely what was served at the first Thanksgiving dinner. These were roasted in a pit covered with hot coals. Sunchoke is a tuber that sprouts a beautiful sunflower. Once the sunflower dies away, dig for the root and roast and enjoy.
