One peeled celeriac provides 3 servings
1 large celeriac (650g/1.5lb total weight)
Spray Oil or 1-2 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
1 tbsp mild curry,paprika or garlic powder


1. Peel the celeriac, slicing off the top and bottom and sweeping down the sides with a heavy, sharp knife to remove the tough skin. Cut the celeriac into thumb-thick slices and then into fat chips.

2. Bring a very large saucepan of salted water to the boil, throw in the chips and blanch (boil rapidly, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes). Drain the chips and throw back into the saucepan. Add spray oil (or nut/seed oil to promote healthy skin, hair and nails), curry powder and optional sea salt. Toss until well coated.

3. Spread the chips over a large heavy baking sheet, leaving plenty of space (you may need 2 sheets). They take 30-35 minutes to cook, so put them in the 230C/ gas 8/fan 210C oven.
