Just dig up the root in spring, summer, or fall. It should be the first year plant growth when the leaves form a basil rosette. Otherwise the root will be to tough to eat. Clean with a good course clean scouring pad under running water. Cut in small pieces of about 1/4 or less to break up the fibers. Or us you thinnest blade on your food processor. You cook it the same way you would a potato. You can bake or boil it and if tender when poked with a fork it's done. It is a power house of vit's and mineral's. Enjoy! Ps: also digging up the root will keep you in great shape.
