Pistachio Free Ginger-Lime Celeriac Fries
Celeriac might be the most underrated root vegetable in the produce aisle, and roasting it into fries is an absolute revelation. These 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 golden-edged, tender-centered, and packed with bright, warming flavor. The high roasting temperature does all the heavy lifting, caramelizing the edges while keeping the inside soft enough to pierce easily with a fork. Scattered with fresh cilantro and served with extra lime wedges, they look and taste like something from a trendy restaurant side dish menu. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts, so there's zero guesswork about what's hiding in the coating or the seasoning. They're a fantastic alternative to potato fries when you want something a little more interesting, and they disappear fast — so consider making a double batch.
