Low Sugar Ginger-Lime Celeriac Fries
Celeriac is one of those underrated root vegetables that absolutely shines when it gets the high-heat oven treatment, and this version delivers serious flavor without a single gram of added sweetness. The batons roast up golden at the edges and tender in the center, with a coating of coconut oil, fresh ginger, lime zest, and turmeric that makes every bite bright and a little earthy at the same time. For anyone cutting back on added sugars, fries and snacky sides can feel like a minefield — but this recipe leans entirely on whole, real ingredients to build its flavor, so there's nothing hidden to worry about. The fresh lime juice adds just enough zing to keep things lively, while the turmeric gives the whole tray a gorgeous golden hue. Scatter on some cilantro and squeeze a few extra lime wedges over the top before serving and you've got a side dish that looks impressive but comes together with minimal effort. These are best eaten straight off the pan while the edges are still crisp.
