BHA & BHT Free Ginger-Lime Celeriac Fries
Celeriac is one of those underrated root vegetables that absolutely shines when it gets a little heat and bold seasoning. These oven-roasted batons come out golden at the edges and tender in the center, with a warm, aromatic coating of fresh ginger, lime zest, and turmeric that makes every bite feel bright and a little unexpected. Coconut oil helps everything crisp up beautifully in the oven without relying on any processed fats or shelf-stable oils that often carry synthetic preservatives like BHA and BHT. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — nothing from a packet, nothing with a suspicious additives list. That matters more than it might seem, since preservatives can sneak into cooking oils, spice blends, and even packaged frozen fries in ways that are easy to overlook. A finishing scatter of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime pulls the whole thing together into something that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. These are the kind of fries you make once and then find yourself craving on a regular basis.
