Ingredients

  • 3 pounds celery root, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the celery root with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and salt to taste in a bowl.
  • Pile onto a double layer of heavy-duty foil; bring the ends together and crimp closed to seal.
  • Put the packet on another baking sheet and roast in the middle of the oven until almost tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the carrots with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a bowl; season with salt.
  • Spread on the preheated baking sheet and roast until tender, about 35 minutes.
  • After the celery root has roasted for 25 minutes, open the foil and spread on the baking sheet; roast 15 more minutes.
  • Toss with the carrots and parsley.
