BAKED CELERY ROOT FRIES



Baked Celery Root Fries image

Oven-roasted celeriac sticks are a lovely accompaniment to your main dish or even alone, just for a snack. The light celery flavor goes well with a spicy homemade ketchup. I tried two different methods to achieve the crispiest fries, and this was the one that I preferred. I served it with homemade harissa ketchup.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ celeriac, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch sticks
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons harissa
2 teaspoons brown rice syrup
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch fine sea salt
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (99 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat.
  • Place celeriac in a bowl; drizzle olive oil over and season with salt and black pepper. Toss fries to coat evenly.
  • Remove baking sheet from the hot oven. Transfer fries to the baking sheet in a single layer with some space between them.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • While fries bake, combine tomato paste, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, harissa, brown rice syrup, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine until smooth. Add water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency. Set ketchup aside.
  • Remove fries from oven and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Flip fries and return baking sheet to the hot oven. Bake until crispy, about 15 minutes more.
  • Serve celery root fries with harissa ketchup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes and celery root: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes and celery root that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces: This will also help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If they are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be crispy.
  • Toss the vegetables in oil and seasonings before baking: This will help them crisp up and develop flavor. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices. For seasonings, try a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
  • Bake the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them crisp up and caramelize. The best temperature is 425 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the vegetables at a lower temperature, they will take longer to cook and may not be as crispy.
  • Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are baking: They can burn easily, so it's important to check on them frequently. If they start to brown too much, reduce the heat or remove them from the oven.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and celery root fries are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional potato fries. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed as a snack or a side dish. With their sweet and savory flavor, these fries are sure to please everyone at your table.
