Wheat 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 touch of turmeric before roasting at high heat until the edges turn golden and the centers go perfectly tender. The result is a fry that's crispy where it counts, fragrant, and bright — nothing like the soggy, bland alternatives you might expect from a vegetable swap. Because the whole recipe is built around whole, naturally grain-free ingredients, there's no flour coating or starchy binder needed, which means every bite is clean and completely free of wheat without any workarounds. Scattered with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of extra lime at the end, these fries punch well above their weight as a side dish or a snack. They're the kind of thing that disappears fast off the tray, so you might want to roast a second batch.
