- 1 small celeriac (about 10 oz), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced

Instructions
- 1
Place the parsnips, sweet potato, and celeriac in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add 1 tsp salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until all the vegetables are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18–22 minutes.

While the vegetables cook, heat the coconut oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sage and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is softened and fragrant and the sage is just beginning to crisp at the edges, about 2–3 minutes. Watch closely, as the garlic can brown quickly. Remove from heat.
