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.

Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 350.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Remove from the oven, cut up if you like (you can also sprinkle with more oil and salt) and serve. (Yes, you can eat the skin.)

Can't believe how delicious this was. And we happily ate the skin.

Super easy and delicious. I roasted the celery roots at 425 degrees using convection. Took about 45 minutes that way.

Easy and delicious (barely noticed the skin).

This is delicious!

Loved the creamy insides and texture of the skin. It was done when cooked for an hour, but an hour and a half might give the skin a bit of a crunch.

Our celeriac were small (1 to 2" in diameter!) so I just roasted for an hour. However they turned out very fibrous despite a long roasting time. Would this have been solved by roasting for longer? Or perhaps smaller celeriacs are just more fibrous?
