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.

Ingredients

½ celeriac , peeled and cut into 1/2-inch sticks
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1

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.
2

Place celeriac in a bowl; drizzle olive oil over and season with salt and black pepper. Toss fries to coat evenly.
3

Remove baking sheet from the hot oven. Transfer fries to the baking sheet in a single layer with some space between them.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
5

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.
6

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.
