CELERIAC OR TURNIP ROAST

A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL BEEF ROAST

Lately, I have decided to try to make a celeriac (or turnip) roast after seeing several videos of this kind on social media. The problem? In order to roast vegetable and make it look like the real thing, they are always using a smoker, an equipment that I unfortunately do not have at home (just like you probably). The idea? Testing a similar recipe, but in the oven.

I think it turned out well! Here is the result.

Roast celeriac or turnip roast offers a good taste that is very similar to white meats, but with a vegetable texture (of course!), so it's a lot more juicy. The result is very interesting and perfect with pizza, sandwiches or simply served sliced with a vegan sauce and steam vegetables.

Happy cooking!
