Walnut Free 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. Here, thick-cut 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, golden fries with a bright, citrusy kick that's hard to stop eating. Roasting at 425°F and spacing the pieces out on the pan is the move that gets you that caramelized exterior instead of a soggy pile, so don't skip that step. The ingredient list is refreshingly short and completely free of tree nuts, meaning you don't have to scan a single label or worry about hidden cross-contact from shared processing facilities. A scatter of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the end pulls everything together and makes the plate look as good as it tastes. These are the kind of fries that work as a side dish, a snack, or honestly just something to pick at straight off the baking sheet.
