Jerusalem artichokes are my favorite vegetable, and they’re wonderful roasted. For Christmas I rolled them in powdered dried mushrooms before roasting and it was great.

I’ve seen loads of lavender-flavoured recipes recently. I’m planning to make roasted Brussels sprouts today and now I can’t decide whether to spice them with lavender or lemongrass (I guess a combination might turn out too exotic)!

I always end up steaming these and mashing as I would potatoes. These looks amazing!

I have never had sunchokes before but they look and sound like something I would absolutely adore! I wonder if I can find them over here in the land o’ sand. Hmm….

Your photos are just beautiful, and the spices you chose to use are genius. Thanks for this recipe.

I like this post better than any I’ve seen all night, b/c I always see sun chokes or what I used to call ‘those things’ at the health food store. I had no idea what to do with them, so I never bought them. Now i do! Thanks Jacqueline, Cam

I would never think to pair sunchokes with lavender! But the flavor of sunchoke is so interesting that I can just see it working. Interesting idea.
