Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large celery root peeled, cut into 1/2-inch fries
  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt plus more to finish
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Line the basket with a fitted parchment sheet or use the crisper tray.
  2. Trim and peel the celery root, cut into 1/2-inch planks then fries, and toss with the oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Cook 10 minutes at 400°F, shaking at 5 to expose the pale sides.
  4. Raise to 420°F and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, until deep golden at the edges. Finish with a pinch of salt.

Notes

Pale and leathery? Add 3 minutes at 420°F with a teaspoon more oil, then shake.
Dark but soft means a crowded basket — split into two batches.
Preheat the basket and use fitted parchment to stop sticking.
