Roasted Sunchokes With Salsa Verde
Jerusalem artichokes/sunchokes are good for you – rich in potassium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, and D, and iron – protecting cells, supporting muscles, nerve function, growth, and development…and so on. Inulin benefits gut health.
Keep their skin on as most nutrients are in the skin. Don’t worry if you can’t buy organic ones because the important thing is to eat well most of the time.
The Eat Burn Sleep approach is about not striving for perfection because perfection is simply unattainable! Following the anti-inflammatory diet program 80 percent of the time will induce feelings of well-being and happiness – as they are side effects of gut healing and inflammation reduction. Life is to be enjoyed.
The salsa verde is super easy to make, has brain and heart health properties, and is absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
