Besides the popular potato, there are many other undeservedly forgotten root vegetables that can be baked and served as a side dish with meat, making them healthier and lower in calories. Try, for example, a combination of turnips, parsnips, and celery root. These vegetables have a unique flavor on their own, and when combined with spices and garlic, they're simply delicious. For a crispy, nutty flavor, add pumpkin seeds.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 2 tsp coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 450 g parsnips, peeled, trimmed and cut in half or quarters lengthwise
  • 450 g turnips, peeled, cut in half and into small wedges
  • Half a celery root (about 450 g), peeled and cut into 2 cm pieces.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Coarsely grind coriander and cumin seeds in a spice grinder (or crush them in the bottom of a frying pan).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the parsnips, turnips, celery root, olive oil, garlic, ground spices, paprika, 1.5 teaspoons coarse salt, and a few grinds of black pepper; toss to coat. Divide the vegetables between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread them into an even layer. Roast until the edges are lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

  3. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the vegetables and toss gently. Continue roasting until the vegetables are tender and the seeds are lightly toasted, about 15 more minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sea salt and cilantro.
