Mediterranean Diet Friendly Ginger-Lime Celeriac Fries
Celeriac is one of those underrated root vegetables that absolutely shines when you give it a little heat and bold seasoning. Roasted at high temperature, these chunky batons develop golden, caramelized edges while staying tender at the center — a texture that rivals any classic fry. The combination of fresh ginger, lime zest, and turmeric brings a bright, aromatic punch that makes every bite feel lively rather than heavy. Coconut oil helps everything crisp up beautifully in the oven without relying on refined fats, which fits naturally into a plant-forward, whole-food approach to eating. A scatter of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the end ties it all together with a burst of freshness. This is the kind of side dish that disappears fast, so consider doubling the batch if you're feeding a crowd.
