ROASTED CELERY ROOT AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the celery root with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste in a bowl. Pile onto a double layer of heavy-duty foil; bring the ends together and crimp closed to seal. Put the packet on another baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven until almost tender, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the carrots with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a bowl; season with salt. Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until tender, about 35 minutes.
• After the celery root has roasted for 25 minutes, open the foil and spread on the baking sheet; roast 15 more minutes. Toss with the carrots and parsley.

ROASTED CELERY ROOT WITH CUMIN AND PARSLEY

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.
