Celeriac, also known as celery root, is one of the most underrated root vegetables. Though its knobby, rough exterior can be intimidating, beneath the surface lies a creamy, nutty flesh that becomes wonderfully flavourful when roasted.

With hints of celery and parsley, celeriac makes a versatile ingredient for both rustic and gourmet dishes.

This roasted celeriac mash transforms the humble root into a velvety, savoury side dish. Roasting deepens its natural sweetness and adds caramelised notes, while garlic and thyme bring warmth and aroma. Blended with butter and cream, it becomes luxuriously smooth — a perfect substitute for mashed potatoes that’s lower in carbs but just as comforting.

Pair it with roasted meats, grilled fish, or simply enjoy it as a vegetarian centrepiece. It’s a dish that proves simple ingredients can deliver big flavours.
