“This celeriac and sausage hash is a lovely, hearty dish using some easily-available ingredients. I LOVE pork sausages, but try and source gluten-free ones – they aren’t hard to find. This messy hash is tasty, simple and easy to throw together. If you like the idea of budget friendly keto meals, do check out my third cookbook, Budget Keto Kitchen.” – Monya
“I love these celeriac steaks with salsa verde! Celeriac has an unusually beautiful flavour and one of the few ‘root’ vegetables that are low enough in carbs to enjoy on the keto diet. You can run a search on the site for all my celeriac recipes, which may come in useful here, as I only use 2 rounds from a celeriac, leaving you with plenty leftover. You will need to find creative ways to use it up! There is an accompanying salsa verde sauce here which will yield a little more than you will need, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and stirred through other dishes.” – Monya
“I used my vegetable peeler to ‘shave’ 200g (7oz) of thin celeriac flesh to make celeriac crisps! This was just enough to season and pop into my Air Fryer (on the dehydrate setting). After 3.5 – 4 hours, I was pleasantly surprised! While I was only left with 25g (0.9oz) – after it lost all its water content – it made a decent enough batch. These are best enjoyed soon after making, but you could pop a little bag of silica gel sachets into a container to stay as crisp as possible. These crisps will serve 4 as a little crunchy snack.” – Monya
“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
“My Celeriac Dauphinoise is probably my most popular creation, so I wanted to try this low carb root vegetable in other ways. Mashed in the same way I do my creamy Cauliflower-mash recipe, this beautiful side dish is extra special because it boasts a unique flavour. It also has a beautiful, creamy mouthfeel and perfect to mop up all those lovely keto sauces. It’s coming close to Christmas, so be sure to check out some keto-friendly ideas here that you could create for your loved ones. Get some additional inspiration in the Side Veg ideas to complement your dinner. More importantly: remember that there may be “traditions”, but there are no “rules” – so do whatever you want at Christmas, enjoy the time with your loved ones and forget about how perfect your turkey should be!” – Monya
“I grew up in South Africa and a mandatory ‘potato bake’ was the highlight of any braai. After going keto in early 2018, not being able to tuck into one was the only thing that stung a little. Then I discovered how low in carbs celeriac was! So, I adapted the recipe I used to do for a potato bake, but used celeriac instead! UPDATE: I have taken this recipe off this blog because I worked hard to bring you a new-and-improved version that now features in my cookbook Keto Kitchen.” – Monya
