This simple celeriac gratin gives some love to the often forgotten celeriac root. Super flavorful and packed full of Parmesan cheese and lots of fresh thyme.
Celeriac is an unappreciated vegetable.
Sure. It’s a little ugly. And it’s certainly not winning any beauty awards. But looks don’t matter…right?
With a little scrubbing and some light trimming this little root vegetable turns out to be a beauty.
I decided the celeriac would make an excellent gratin so I thinly sliced it and gave it a whirl.
Luckily, it turned out delicious. You should try it too….Enjoy!!!

I've been wanting to try celeriac. Plus, throw on cream and cheese and I'm sure anything would taste amazing!

I think that celeriac is one of the few vegetables I haven't tried. But I've seen it at the grocery store before - looks like I need to pick some up next time to try this!

I love celeriac and this is a great way to prepare this gnarly root vegetable.

I wish I could learn to like celeriac but celery makes me gag and so does it....it's probably the only serious food aversion I have. I'm certain, though, this would be equally delicious with parsnips or potatoes!

Lovely! I've never actually made celeriac before, but this dish looks like the perfect place to start. Yum!
