Baked Celery Root And Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and put a baking sheet inside. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lightly chop the cumin seeds and add to a medium bowl. Trim the ends off the celery root, then peel and discard the exterior. Cut the root into 3/4-inch-thick planks and then into 3/4-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in the bowl with the cumin seeds, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
• Halve the red onion and thinly slice. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the cubes in an even layer. Add the onion slices to the bowl the celery root was in and coat with the residual oil and seasonings. Arrange the onions on top of the celery root and put back into the oven to roast. (If the onions are in contact with the pan for the entire cooking time, they could get too dark or burn.)
• When the cubes begin to brown on the bottom, about 15 minutes, toss the vegetables around, scattering the onions around the pan and flatten again into one layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are very soft when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before tossing with the parsley leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven or large saucepan with a lid over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until just beginning to turn golden about 5 minutes. Add the carrots and celery root and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the stock, and enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until vegetables are fork tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables in a colander set over a bowl to reserve the cooking liquid. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Puree until very smooth, adding cooking liquid, as needed, to reach the desired consistency. Taste and season again, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.
• Cook's Note: This can be made the day before and slowly reheated.

Steps:

• Put the oil in the Romertopf and add the vegetables. Cover and place in a cold oven.
• Turn heat up to 425 degrees and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes. The carrots should caramelize.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, combine the carrots, 1/2 cup of the water, and butter. Sprinkle the sugar over the top and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are almost tender. Add the celery root (add more water if the mixture is dry). Cook for 5 minutes, or until the celery root is just tender. Season with the salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Peel the parsnips, carrots, celery root and potatoes and cut them into one-inch cubes. Slice the celery and onion. Leave the garlic cloves whole in their skins.
• Put the vegetables in one layer in one or two large baking dishes and toss them in the oil so they are thoroughly coated. Sprinkle them with rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Bake the vegetables for an hour and a half (turning them from time to time so they brown on all sides). Do not let them get too dark or they will develop a bitter taste. Put the vegetables on a serving platter, correct seasoning and garnish with rosemary sprigs.
