Jerusalem artichokes are an easy plant to grow and there is always an abundance of their tasty tubers in our garden during the winter months. When cooking this recipe, we recommend in finding the larger tubers as its easier to cut them up and leave the smaller tubers for other dishes. You can either cut your jerusalem artichokes into chips, slices or wedges.
If you don’t have any Jerusalem artichokes you can substitute it for carrots, parsnip, butternut pumpkin, beetroot or wurzel. In the spice blend we used rosemary, sweet hungarian paprika and panko crumb, but you could also use oregano instead of rosemary or add other spices such as chilli.
