Sunchokes, also called Jerusalem Artichokes, are a strange looking but delicious tuber completely unrelated to the artichoke. They have a bit of an artichoke flavor, hence the name. I usually roast them along with other root vegetables and recently tested a great sunchoke salad recipe for the Urban Vegan. They can be hard to find. Check farmer's markets and gourmet grocery stores.

Assorted root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, sunchokes, parsnips, turnips, beets)
