Roasted Sunchokes-Parsnips-Artichokes

Sunchokes, a.ka. Jerusalem Artichokes, have a root that look similar to ginger, but are sweet and crunchy like a carrot. They can be eaten raw, cooked, peeled, or unpeeled. The following recipe is based on feeding a family of four as a side dish, with leftovers. Enjoy!  ~ Dave Lattomus
