Roast Celeriac Steaks with Salsa Verde
Celeriac steaks roasted until nutty, then topped with zingy salsa verde. A perfect and delicious starter for Christmas or dinner parties.
Celeriac–I absolutely love its delicious peppery flavour. But I think it’s so often overlooked, which seems a shame.
Have you tried cutting it into steaks and roasting? Like many vegetables, the flavour is much enhanced as is the texture. Here I’ve topped it with a zingy salsa verde which works really well with the pepperiness.
I think this makes a really great alternative to the more classic cauliflower steaks, and you can use them in much the same way.

Serve with my lentil bolognese–yum.
I hope you enjoy, love Niki xxx

The salsa verde on roasted celeriac steaks – was to die for. Even though there was no capers, no basil / it was still great. Thanks Niki
So happy you liked it Tracey! xx
Thanks so much for this great recipe — such an elegant, yet simple dish. I served it on a bed of cauliflower and white bean purée. Will definitely be making this again!
Wonderful
So happy you liked it.
Much love, Niki xxx
Any suggestions for cooking the Celeriac on a Bbq? It looks like this would make the ideal easy vegan alternative.
I have made this several times. The family absolutely loved it – not the small grandchildren but adults could not wait for the next time!
Very happy you liked!
Much love, Niki xxx
