Celeriac might not be the first vegetable you reach for, but once it's roasted into golden, crispy-edged fries, it earns a permanent spot in your rotation. The earthy, slightly nutty flavor of the root pairs beautifully with fragrant rosemary and punchy garlic, while a touch of turmeric gives each baton a warm, sun-kissed color. Coconut oil is the fat of choice here, helping the edges caramelize and crisp up in a hot oven without any animal-derived fats in the mix — meaning this dish is completely free of red meat and its derivatives from start to finish. The key technique is giving each piece room to breathe on the baking sheet; crowding traps steam and kills the crunch, so that single layer really matters. A flip halfway through ensures even browning on all sides, and the result is tender inside with those irresistible crispy edges you want from a proper fry. Scattered with fresh parsley just before serving, these are impressive enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a weeknight side. If you've been looking for a snack or side dish that feels indulgent without any of the usual concerns around cross-contact with red meat, this one absolutely delivers.
