Celeriac or Swede 'Fake-Bakes'

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 10:04:59 GMT

Step 1

Start by giving the celeriac a really good scrub, especially if you are going to leave the skin on. (I like the skin).

Step 2

If you peel it, you only need to take a fine shaving off the edges. You can do this with a sharp knife or a potato peeler.

Step 3

If you have the time and you want to take the mind-trickery to its limit, you can shave off the sharp edges using a potato peeler, to make the celeriac look like a rounded potato. You can pop the peelings in a vegetable soup.

Step 4

Mist with a few sprays of Frylight or olive oil and rub this well into the outside.

Step 5

Bake in a hot oven 225 degrees C for 40-45 minutes. Turn a couple of times during cooking so that each 'face' of the celeriac gets a lovely charred appearance.

Step 6

The only way you will achieve a thicker, more 'potatoey' skin, is to fry the baked celeriac in a little frylight oil for a few minutes, but it's not really necessary.

Step 7

Finally, split open just like a regular jacket potato, and fill with your favourite toppings.
