How to Roast Celery Root {Celeriac} and Delicious Ways to Use It

I can easily make an entire meal out of nothing but a whole roasted celery root lightly sprinkled with some salt and ground black pepper. The transformation that this humble root vegetable goes through when allowed to roast for a couple of hours is kinda magical.

Roasting Celeriac concentrates its flavor and caramelizes all the natural sugars, transforming it into a soft, richly flavorful, delicacy. Roasting celery root is easy. Once roasted, eat it as is, or use it in any of the following recipes.

Check out this step-by-step tutorial for How To Roast Celery Root.

How to Roast Celery Root:

  1. Thoroughly scrub the outside of the celery root. Fill a large bowl with water and set it inside the sink. Plop in your celery root and start scrubbing. You can either use the rough side of a clean kitchen sponge or a vegetable scrubber. You’ll be surprised at how dirty your water gets – it is a root vegetable after all. Pat the celeriac dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  3. Set the celery root on a piece of aluminum foil that’s big enough to enclose it.
  4. Drizzle some olive oil over the celery root, turning it around in the oil to coat. Then, sprinkle with salt.
  5. Wrap the foil up and around the celery root, enclosing it completely. Set it on the baking sheet and pop it in the oven.
  6. Roast celery root for 2 – 3 hours, until extremely soft, creamy and caramelized.
  7. Allow the roasted celery root to rest until cool enough to handle then trim the ends and cut into thick slices. At this point, it's ready to be used in any recipe.
