Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190C/350F/Gas 5.
  • Place the celeriac into a roasting tray.
  • Mix the egg whites, table salt and rosemary together in a large bowl until the mixture forms a paste.
  • Cover the celeriac in a 2cm/¾in thick layer of the salt paste, ensuring there are no gaps. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes.
  • Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes.
  • When the salt-baked celeriac has cooked, remove it from the oven, place on a plate and serve - someone will enjoy smashing the salt crust, or......
  • chip away the salt crust and scoop out the baked celeriac into a bowl.
  • Add a splash of olive oil to the celeriac, then season, to taste, with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Mix the celeriac with a fork until combined.
