Celeriac might not be the first vegetable you reach for, but once it hits a hot oven with coconut oil, garlic, and rosemary, it transforms into something genuinely crave-worthy — crispy and golden at the edges with a tender, slightly nutty center. Conventional fries and packaged snack foods are notorious hiding spots for high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners, so making your own from scratch is one of the smartest moves you can make. Every single ingredient here is exactly what it looks like: a root vegetable, a good fat, fresh aromatics, sea salt, and a pinch of turmeric for warmth and color. The trick to getting real crispiness is spreading the batons in a single layer with space between them, so the oven roasts rather than steams — a small detail that makes a huge difference. A final scatter of fresh flat-leaf parsley brightens the whole plate and makes these look as good as they taste. They're the kind of side dish that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
