Savory Sunchoke Mash - Vegan recipe hero image

I first discovered sunchokes at a local farmer's market, and I was instantly smitten.

These knobby little tubers have a wonderful nutty flavor that makes them perfect for mashing.

I love serving this mash as a side dish with my favorite lentil loaf or just enjoying it on its own with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh herbs.

It’s a warming dish that feels like a hug on a plate!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Sunchokes, also known as Jerusalem artichokes, have a lovely nutty flavor and are packed with nutrients. If you can't find sunchokes, you can substitute them with more potatoes, but you'll miss that unique taste! I often use unsweetened almond oat milk for a creamier texture, but feel free to experiment with your favorite plant-based oat milk.

Tips & Notes

  • •I love to add a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving for a bright finish.
  • •If you want a bit of a kick, throw in some red pepper flakes when you’re mashing!

Recipe Variations

  • •Sometimes, I mix in a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
  • •You can also add in sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little extra plant-based oat milk if needed to bring back the creaminess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?
