Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the celeriac into fry-shaped sticks. Toss with garlic-infused oil, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread on a baking tray and bake for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway through.
4. Press the tofu for a few minutes and cut it into small cubes.
5. Mix tofu with tamari, paprika, and pepper. Place on a separate baking tray and bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden.
6. While the vegetables are baking, prepare the gravy.
7. Heat the garlic-infused oil in a pan. Add mushrooms and cook until softened and browned.
8. Stir in tamari, thyme, nutritional yeast, and broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
9. Mix cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the gravy. Cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
10. Place the roasted celeriac on serving plates. Top with baked tofu and spoon the hot mushroom gravy over everything.

Notes & Variations

• Parsley root can replace some or all of the celeriac.
• For a cheesier flavor, add extra nutritional yeast to the tofu before baking.
• A mixture of celeriac and rutabaga creates a more complex flavor.
• For extra crispiness, spread the celeriac in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the tray.
