Each recipe below is based on a given root, but feel free to mess around. Bake beets instead of celeriac; make creamy potato soup, braise carrots, braise parsnips and so on.

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Celeriac
Olive oil
Salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350.
  • Thoroughly wash whole celeriac and pat dry; brush the outside with olive oil, sprinkle liberally with coarse salt and bake for 1 to 2 hours (for celeriac, longer is better; many vegetables will be done sooner), until the outside is roasted and evenly crisp and the inside is tender.

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 celeriac

4 rosemary sprigs
4 thyme sprigs
3 bay leaves

Rub the celeriac all over with the oil and place on a large sheet of foil, root-side down. Scatter with the garlic, herbs and seasoning. Wrap the foil tightly and place on a tray and roast on the bottom of the oven for 2 hrs. Check after 2 hrs that the top is very tender - if not give it 30 mins more.
  • To serve, unwrap the celeriac and cut off the top. Loosen and mash the middle with the butter, some seasoning and squeezed out softened garlic, if you like. Serve the celeriac with a spoon sticking out of it for everyone to help themselves to.

Whole baked celeriac with walnuts & blue cheese image

Full of flavour and texture, this seasonal side goes well with a Sunday roast. The soft celeriac, strong blue cheese and crunchy walnuts are a match made in heaven

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large celeriac (about 800g-1kg)
60g walnuts , toasted and chopped
1 tsp thyme leaves
100g blue cheese , crumbled
50g butter , chopped
100ml honey

Steps:

  • Peel the celeriac, keeping it as round as possible. Make a slight indent using a 6-7cm biscuit cutter in the top of the celeriac or score using a knife. Use the indent as a guide to hollow out the middle with a melon baller or apple corer until you're halfway down.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a bowl, toss the walnuts, thyme and blue cheese together, then pack into the cavity - don't worry if the filling sticks out of the top. Next, lay out a sheet of tin foil large enough to cover the celeriac. Put the celeriac in the middle, dot the butter on top and around it, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt. Wrap the celeriac in the foil, making sure there are no gaps, and roast for 1 hr 15 mins or until soft. Once cooked, open the foil and roast for a further 15 mins until golden. Serve the celeriac on a chopping board and reserve the juices in a dish to spoon over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right celeriac: Look for firm, heavy celeriac with no blemishes or soft spots. The smaller the celeriac, the more tender it will be.
  • Peel the celeriac carefully: The skin of the celeriac can be tough, so it's important to peel it carefully. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, taking care not to cut into the flesh of the celeriac.
  • Cut the celeriac into even-sized pieces: This will help the celeriac to cook evenly.
  • Roast the celeriac at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the celeriac and give it a delicious flavor.
  • Season the celeriac generously: Celeriac has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the celeriac immediately: Celeriac is best served immediately after it is roasted. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Baked celeriac is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover celeriac, and it is also a healthy and affordable option.
