Roasted Celery Root

Looking for a celery root recipe? Next time at brunch, make this super delicious, easy-to-make—Celery Root & Potato Hash. This medley is so flavorful and aromatic with all of the spices, herbs, and garlic.

Because I live in Turkey, I found that celery root, rather than celery stalk, is more commonly found. In fact, you won’t find the same robust, crisp stalks in our pazzars (Turkish bazaars) or markets as you would in your local grocery store.

Instead, you’ll find big white bulbs with wilted, short stems and a plethora of leaves. Surprisingly, when you do use the tops of the roots, you’ll find that what’s there is really strong and flavorful.

Here’s Why this Roasted Celery Root Recipe is Amazing

• Instead of only eating roasted potatoes, you’re eating half celery root too per serving—which means less carbohydrates for both of us.
• It’s a great way to sneak this new vegetable into your kids’ meals.
• It’s incredibly simple to make. Just handle it like a regular potato.
• It tastes delicious!

Tips For Roasted Celery Root

• When cutting the potatoes and the celery root (bulb), cut even-shaped dice for both. This will ensure that each bite has a little bit of both and more importantly, each ingredient will finish cooking at the same time.
• It’s best to peel the outer layer of skin with a vegetable peeler. If you use a knife, you’ll end up cutting off too much.
• I like to put all of the ingredients into a bowl and give a generous toss before transferring everything to a baking dish. This step will ensure that each ingredient is seasoned to its full potential before baking.
• You can totally add diced zucchini, carrot, or red onion to bulk it up.

To Seve

Serve this as a side dish with any breakfast, scrambled eggs in the Mediterranean style, or hashbrowns. You can also serve this during your next brunch event.

Ingredients

Servings

• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cups diced potatoes, about 2-3 potatoes (washed and skin removed)
• 4 cups diced celery root, about 1 large bulb (washed and outer thick skin peeled)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika, red Aleppo pepper flakes, and oregano
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F

3. When ready, drizzle olive oil to the bottom of your baking dish and spread it around until the bottom is evenly coated. This will ensure no sticking (optional).
