Making low carb simple

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the celery root. You don’t need to peel it. Cut away the roots and slice into ½-inch slices.
Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush olive oil on both sides and sprinkle a generous amount of sea salt on top.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the celery root has turned golden brown and soft.
Meanwhile, sauté mushrooms in butter until golden and soft. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast the nuts quickly in a dry, hot frying pan, until fragrant. Let them cool slightly, and chop them coarsely.

Mix red onions, spinach, mushrooms and hazelnuts in a bowl.
When the root celery is ready, place on plates and add the salad on top. Serve with blue cheese and a few drops of olive oil.

Tips

For a more even distribution of the cheese, crumble it on top rather than having a slice or wedge.

To up the number of servings for a party and to make them more bite-sized, just quarter each celery root slice.

Go nuts! Try adding sliced almonds, or chopped pecans and cashews. Or even some of your favorite seeds. Lightly sautéed kale or chard also makes a delicious alternative to spinach.

I've made it today for dinner... simply delicious, what a creative, beautiful meal! Thanks for posting it! I'll for sure be using root celery for other dishes... maybe as a "half-bread" for an open hamburger?

Thanks! Really helpful as this site is SO American. Given they're based in Stockholm, even the metric is so often far from right - millilitres instead of gramms. Amd then those ununiform tablespoons of stuff and no weights or measurements with tablespoons - all different sizes around me the world. Easy to wreck a good recipe because of that alone.

Yes, thats true, and probably why it's 13g carbs. All okay even if you're doing under 20g a day and Keto. I'm aiming for low carb high fat rather than outright keto.

I think the celery root that I chose was too old because when I sliced it, the centre was missing and it was very hairy inside and fiberous. The skin was inedible and tough even after baking. It was so difficult to slice that I had to get my husband to cut it. Maybe this is the wrong dish for us here because celery root in quite expensive. I've used it in soups successfully in the past.
