  3. Blanch, drain, and then throw into pasta with lots of olive oil and sauce or spices of your choosing.

  4. Stir fry for a minute or two in sesame oil. Add a drizzle of soy sauce, a little fresh ginger, some garlic and a sprinkling of sesame seeds to finish

  5. Roast at 475 with a drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper for 10 minutes, stirring (or shaking the pan to redistribute) halfway through cooking.

PREPARATION

Cook celery root, sweet potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, chicken broth, oil, and cayenne pepper in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are just beginning to soften and liquid is evaporated, 15–20 minutes.
