Sesame Free Rosemary-Garlic Celeriac Fries
Celeriac might not be the first vegetable you reach for, but once you roast it into golden, crispy-edged fries, it becomes genuinely hard to stop eating. The earthy, slightly nutty flavor of the root pairs beautifully with fragrant rosemary and punchy minced garlic, while a touch of turmeric gives each baton a warm, golden hue that looks as good as it tastes. Coconut oil is the fat of choice here, and it helps the edges caramelize and crisp in a way that feels deeply satisfying without any of the seed-oil concerns that can come with store-bought snacks or restaurant fries. The key move is spreading the pieces out with room to breathe — that single-layer spacing is what turns these from soggy to seriously crunchy. A final scatter of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and brightness right before serving. These are the kind of fries that make you forget you were ever loyal to the potato version.
