Roasted Sunchokes with Cucumber Yogurt Spread

I fell in love with sunchokes at first sight. These peculiar-looking tubers can be roasted to perfection, achieving a golden crispiness on the outside while maintaining a creamy and tender center.

Here’s a playful fusion of one of my favorite root vegetables with a classic Iranian side dish, māst-o khiār. This minty cucumber yogurt spread takes the humble sunchoke to new heights.
