Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large bulbs celery root (celeriac)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the celery root using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, trimming off the rough outer skin until you reach the white interior.
Slice the celery root into thin fries approximately 1/4 inch thick and as evenly sized as possible to ensure even cooking.
Place the sliced celery root into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the celery root fries and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to help them crisp up properly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the fries over with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as aioli or ketchup.
