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.

Some more ideas for celeriac are; serve it with a creamy butter bean purée, top with garlicky mushrooms, and serve with my lentil bolognese–yum.

I hope you enjoy these roast celeriac steaks, love Niki xx

    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

    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!

    Any suggestions for cooking the Celeriac on a Bbq? It looks like this would make the ideal easy vegan alternative.
