Chicken Free Ginger-Lime Celeriac Fries
Celeriac might not be the first vegetable you reach for, but once you taste it roasted into golden, tender fries, it earns a permanent spot in your rotation. The batons get tossed in melted coconut oil with fresh ginger, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of turmeric before hitting a hot oven — the result is crispy-edged, warmly spiced, and just a little citrusy in the best possible way. Spreading the pieces out with space between them is the key move here, letting the oven do its roasting magic instead of steaming everything into mush. A finish of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime wedge takes the whole thing from simple side dish to something you'd genuinely be excited to serve. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from poultry, so there's no swapping or substituting required — it's just a clean, vibrant dish that happens to work beautifully for anyone avoiding meat entirely. These fries are fantastic alongside a grain bowl, a hearty salad, or honestly just on their own as a snack you can feel good about.
