Roasted celeriac
Celeriac is a root vegetable whose leaves and root are both edible. Its leaves perfectly emphasize the taste of soups and will be a perfect decoration for many dishes. Celeriac can also be cooked, baked, blanched or eaten row. It has a slightly nutty, delicate taste, which works well in salads, slaws, soups, casseroles and purees.
Roasted celeriac with a bit of oil, salt and cumin is a vegan dish that can be served for dinner. After baking, I put the celeriac aside for a while, then cut it into centimetre thick slices. I serve the celeriac slices with roasted carrot dip or as an addition to other dishes. I encourage you to try the following recipe for roasted celeriac and I hope that you will find it tasty.

How to make roasted celeriac.
Wash the celeriac thoroughly and dry it with a paper towel. Next, rub it with oil, salt and cumin. Wrap in aluminium foil, place on a baking sheet and put in an oven preheated to 220 degrees Celsius for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Before removing the celeriac from the oven, check with a fork if it is properly baked.
Good to know when making roasted celeriac.
I roast the celeriac with its peel, so I always wash it very well before baking, and I often scrub it with a brush, because dirt likes to collect in its lower part.
Depending on how much celeriac you are roasting, it may take a little more or less time in the oven than the time I indicated. Before taking the celeriac out of the oven, make sure it is soft enough.
You can replace the cumin seeds with caraway seeds.
