Celery Root Chips (celeriac)

Looking for a healthier alternative for a potato chip? Here it is: celery root chips! They about 1/3 of the carbs then potato chips.Very simple to do, you could flavor them with sea salt, kosher salt, or a combination of your favorite spices. My next round I am going to try a spice blend! Or maybe some grated cheese...lots to do with these




1 bunch of The Farm B/B celery root
about 4 cups of fat for deep frying (I use tallow)


Carefully peel the celery with a sharp paring knife. Using a mandolin slice the root into about 1/4 slices.

In a heavy pan heat fat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add in a few root slices at a time to hot oil (don't over crowd) When the chips turn golden around edges, flip to fry other side. A minute or two per side. Remove to a paper lined tray, season while hot. Allow to cool.

You can bake the chips, slice place in a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and season. Bake at 350 until crisp, 15 minutes or so. (turn over half way through). I found baking just didn't give me that crunch of chip.
