Celery fries

As a variation on fries, try swapping potatoes for celery.

Ingredients:

• Celery - 1 tuber
  
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Spices to taste (paprika, curry, turmeric, etc.)

Recipe steps:

1. Cut the celery in half, peel and cut into slices about an inch thick. Then cut these into french fries. Count on the celery being shrunk by baking, so the fries might as well be thicker.
2. Toss the fries in boiling water and really just simmer briefly (2 minutes max). If we cook them longer, they might soften and break unnecessarily. We can also skip this step, the fries will taste more strongly of celery and we will bake them in the oven for longer.
3. When dry, mix them with olive oil and spices to taste
4. Bake until golden (approximately 30 minutes) at 200°C/390°F
5. Put down on a paper towel and drain off any excess fat, we can immediately serve with homemade mayonnaise, for example.
