celeriac is becoming increasingly popular. This tuberous vegetable doesn't necessarily look attractive in stores with its brown color and weird lumps and roots. Fortunately, people are increasingly looking through that, and more and more incredibly delicious recipes are appearing that incorporate celeriac .

It is therefore a vegetable that can be used in all directions. Because of its versatility, it is often used to make a burger, but also as a healthier alternative to fries. Or, as in Ottolenghi's roasted celeriac with coriander seeds, it is cooked whole in the oven . If you do like roasted celeriac, but don't have the time or inclination to wait 3 hours for it (even though that recipe is recommended), then this recipe is for you.

In this recipe , the celeriac is cut into pieces and roasted in the airfryer or oven. You can choose to leave the pieces slightly larger and incorporate the celeriac into a salad, but it is also very nice to eat the roasted celeriac as fries. It goes well with some sriracha mayonnaise (to do this, mix some mayonnaise with sriracha sauce and a little lemon juice).

Tips

  • You can store the roasted celeriac for a few days. Before you serve them, heat them in the airfryer for a few minutes .
  • How long to bake celeriac depends on the size of the pieces. French fries are ready in 10 to 15 minutes , while for larger pieces you can count 20 to 25 minutes .
  • Don't put too many pieces in the airfryer at once, or it won't get a chance to roast.
