Creating the Perfect Roasted Celeriac

Start by preparing the celeriac for the pie. Roast it with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until it's beautifully caramelized and flavorful.

Wrap the roasted celeriac in tinfoil and bake it for an hour and a half at 200 degrees Celsius for a truly delicious result.
