Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Step 2
Mix the potatoes with the oil and ½ teaspoon sea salt on a large sheet pan. Spread the potatoes evenly across the pan, then cover with foil and bake until almost cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a spatula to release any potatoes stuck to the pan. Mix in the sunchokes and oregano, ensuring everything is nicely coated in oil, then spread them out evenly on the pan. Return to the oven until golden, about 45 minutes, mixing halfway through and releasing with the spatula.
- Step 3
Add the sesame, coriander and cumin to a small frying pan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the spices are toasted and the sesame is a light golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a mortar and pestle with 1¼ teaspoons salt and lightly crush.
- Step 4
To serve, mix the dill and half the spice mixture through the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the remaining oil over the yogurt and sprinkle the remaining spice mix over the top.
- Step 5
Serve the vegetables straight from the pan, with the yogurt sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Curious about sunchokes, I clicked on the instacart for this recipe. Sunchokes are unavailable, and alternatives are similarly unavailable. What is this ingredient, where can I find it, what is an alternative?
@TomCH one reason may be that this is a global site, and while this ingredient may be difficult to find in some parts of the US, it is readily available in other parts of the world. Furthermore, this recipe provides an easy alternative: more potatoes. And finally, if potatoes are also unavailable in your area, then this recipe is not for you — scroll past it and pick one of the thousands of others.
This recipe is unnecessarily complex. I have been roasting very tasty potatoes for 30 years and these directions make it a bit of an ordeal. As an aside, for a snack or as a side course, if you have an air fryer the process becomes much faster.
when sunchokes aka Jerusalem artichokes are in season, Fresh Direct often carries them
You can order them on Amazon, 2.59 a pound and up. My go to source for unusual, hard to find ingredients.
I suspect this recipe would be good with potato and rutabaga or celery root.
