“I have been meaning to share my celeriac chip recipe for a while now. However, I wanted to give it some more ‘kick’ in terms of spicy flavour. Here, I partially cook my celeriac batons in boiling water, then allow them to drain off. My fat (I used lard) is infused with garlic powder and paprika. I then scatter over Parmesan in the last 5 minutes after letting them finish in the oven. This recipe is suitable for 4 as a side dish, but you can adjust the recipe if you wish to make a smaller or larger batch.” – Monya

More on Celeriac Parmesan Chips…
Celeriac, derived from the celery family, is a versatile and nutrient-rich root vegetable. It features a mild and slightly nutty flavour. When transformed into chips, celeriac becomes a delicious substitute for carb-laden potato chips. These delights can be easily prepared by slicing celeriac into thin, uniform pieces, tossing them in a spiced fat, and baking until golden.

What makes celeriac chips particularly well-suited for keto is their low carbohydrate content. While regular potato chips can contain over 50 grams of carbohydrates per serving, celeriac typically have only 5 grams or fewer. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals aiming to maintain a state of ketosis.
Additionally, celeriac offers several health benefits. They are rich in dietary fibre, which aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. Celeriac is also packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin C, potassium, and phosphorus. These contribute to immune function, electrolyte balance, and bone health.
So, grab a batch of celeriac chips and embark on a tasty and keto-friendly culinary adventure!
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Celeriac Parmesan Chips
Per serving
Ingredients
- 500 g (17.6 oz) celeriac chips, (trimmed weight)
- 25 g (0.9 oz) lard
- 1/2 tsp ground paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 15 g (0.5 oz) Parmesan, finely grated
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- chopped parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Peel the celeriac using a good quality vegetable peeler and wipe clean before slicing into chip size batons. The weight indicated above is the weight yield after trimming. This would come from one small celeriac, or half a large one. If you choose to use half a large one (like I did), simply wrap the remaining half in cling film and keep in the fridge for another recipe.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and boil the batons for 3-4 minutes. We only want to partially cook them at this stage, we do not want them breaking apart. Drain in a colander and allow to steam off.
- Spread the batons out on kitchen paper and pat dry.
- In the meantime, melt the lard in a small pan and whisk in the paprika and garlic powder.
- Place the celeriac into a large bowl and pour the flavoured lard over it. Toss the bowl gently to evenly coat the pieces.
- Spread the pieces out on a tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the tray and scatter over three-quarters of the grated Parmesan.
- Return the tray to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, cranking the heat to max in the last 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately seasoned with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter over the remaining grated Parmesan and garnish with a little chopped parsley.
