Roasted Celery Root, Parsnip, Carrot and Fennel
1 sm. Celery Root (80)
1 med. Parsnip (59)
3 med. Carrots (106)
1 med. Fennel bulb (84)
1 TB + 1 tsp. olive oil (160)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel and cut root vegetables into 1/2-inch pieces. Remove the top portion (making sure to reserve enough fronds to garnish) and the tough outer layer of the fennel bulb; cut into 1/4-inch wedges.
Toss the root vegetables on a cookie sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet and toss the fennel in with the root vegetables and 1 tsp. olive oil. Continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and tender. Toss with chopped fennel fronds and serve while warm.

I love celery, not so much fennel, but i love to roast vegetables and roots! I am nuts about it!
Of course some would think that I add alot of oil to my roots but I hardly ever do, what I do is I let meat roast on a grill above the roots and the fat from the meat will pour over the vegetables. Chicken being my favorite ;) AND I hardly oil the chicken either! Yummie!
I forgot tot ake a photo yesterday becuase me and the man had afight, but I made spareribs and roots in the oven, it was delicious!!!
I usually make roots in the oven if I'm feeling in a binge mood becuase I can eat alot without it being too unhealthy ;)
I'll post some recipe soon, just been stressed about work :)
I have some celery root (celeriac) to play with so I might just roast it. I do like fennel - baked, braised and raw. The trick to having it uncooked is to slice it finely (or even "shave" it). You get a hint of aniseed and some crunchiness without it being over powering.
Good root veg combo. I picked up some parsnips and celeriac today and was thinking of the same combo with fennel and carrots. I feel validated that someone else tried it first. I will be Julian mine and toss with a lemon vinaigrette and parsley and capers. I will blog the results at a later date.
