Roasted Celeriac Chips are a wonderful alternative to potato chips. 1g carbs and 50 calories per portion.
These keto-friendly chips are not crispy, but they’re utterly addictive. Think sweet potatoes with a mild aniseed flavour.
Admittedly, celeriac is one of the least attractive vegetables on store shelves – all brown, knobbly and alien-looking. But it’s loaded with nutrients, especially Vitamin K, and tastes way more pleasant than swede or turnip, with fewer carbs.
If you’ve never tried it, I urge you to do so. It’s easy to prepare and you can eat it raw or cooked. Both my Celeriac Remoulade and Italian Coleslaw involve raw celeriac. For a cooked option, check out my Swede Purée and use celeriac instead.
How to Make Roasted Celeriac Chips
Peel your celeriac with a vegetable peeler, and use a knife to remove the gnarly bits. Wash it, pat it dry, and cut it in half. Cut each half into 1cm slices, then cut each slice into 0.5-1cm batons.
Line two full-size oven trays with non-stick baking paper and pile the batons over them.
Sprinkle with seasoning and herbs (but no salt yet) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Use your hands to turn and coat the batons well, then spread them out creating a single layer.
Roast in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes, until blistered and lightly charred.
Sprinkle generously with salt and serve immediately.
If you manage not to inhale them all, you can re-heat Roasted Celeriac Chips in the oven or air-fryer and they’ll be just as good. If not better.
Celeriac is a low-starch root vegetable, so these chips will never be crunchy. But with only 1g carbs per portion, they’re definitely keto-suitable, and the flavour more than makes up for it.
Enjoy!
