Deze week in het pakket / this week's package

Dear people of Lekkernassûh,

This week, a not-so-common vegetable: the yacon!
For an easy recipe with this vegetable, also known as the “earth pear”:
Scrub and peel the yacon. Cut them into strips about the thickness of your finger and spread them out on a large baking sheet. Mix them with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the yacon in the oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are cooked in the middle and around the edges.

Don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8pm, if needed. Enjoy!
