Edible parts

Roots

Recipe idea for your Mammouth Sandwich salsify harvest. Roast the root vegetables in regular pieces. Brush the roots under water, remove the ends, and only peel them if their skin requires it. Cut the larger ones into quarters to equalize their cooking time with the smaller pieces. Mix with a drizzle of oil, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet without overlapping the vegetables, then bake at 200 °C (392 °F), turning halfway through. Check for tenderness with the tip of a knife. Finish with a little lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and serve with a cooked grain. Keep the colors separate on the baking sheet if you want to preserve their contrast when serving. Small roots can remain whole when they are of a comparable size. A thicker skin should be removed before cooking, while a clean, young skin can remain on the vegetable.
