Celeriac oven chips

• celeriac↗2 large

  (1.3kg/3lb total weight)

• groundnut or vegetable oil↗3-4 tbsp tbsp
• mild curry powder↗1 tbsp tbsp

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat your oven to 230C/ gas 8/ fan 210C. 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. 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 the oil, curry powder and sea salt. Toss until well coated.

3. 3

   Spread the chips over a large heavy baking sheet, leaving plenty of space (you may need 2 sheets). Cook them in the oven for about 30-35 minutes.
