I’ve been dying to share this recipe with you guys! I think it’s so fun when I learn how to make a new veggie and I love to share it! It’s awesome to have a new (EASY) side dish to throw in your weeknight lineup.

Creamy Garlic Mashed Celery Root

How funky looking is that thing? The whole bulb is underground. The rooty part is towards the bottom and the pointy part is where the celery (those green stalks that you make ants on a log with ;-)) grows from above ground. Prettayyy cool eh? 

It has a fun flavor to it, I would say it’s only slightly reminiscent of celery – definitely not too overpowering CELERY flavored. It’s unexpectedly creamy, especially considering there’s zero dairy in this dish!! I served it with some sautéd peppers, onions, and sausage. It’s great to have another mash in my repertoire beyond the traditional potato and the more modern cauli.
