Baked celery root with mushroom sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use other herbs instead of thyme?

Absolutely! Rosemary, sage, or even a mix of Italian herbs would be delicious substitutes for thyme in this baked celery root recipe. Adjust the amount to your preference, starting with about the same quantity as the thyme.

Can I make this dish vegan?

Yes! To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative for both the celery root and the mushroom sauce. Ensure your mustard is also vegan-friendly.

How long can I store leftover baked celery root and mushroom sauce?

Leftover baked celery root and mushroom sauce can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

What's the best way to reheat the mushroom sauce?

To reheat the mushroom sauce, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. If the sauce has thickened too much in the fridge, you can add a splash of cream (or plant-based cream alternative) to restore its original consistency.

Can I freeze the baked celery root or mushroom sauce?

The baked celery root can be frozen, but its texture might change slightly after thawing. The mushroom sauce is best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated; freezing may affect the cream's consistency. If you do freeze it, thaw it slowly in the refrigerator and whisk vigorously while reheating to help restore its texture.

What if I don't have bay leaf?

If you don't have bay leaf, it's okay to omit it. It adds a subtle flavor, but the dish will still be delicious without it. You could consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a sprig of fresh rosemary for a different depth of flavor.

What can I serve with baked celery root and mushroom sauce?

This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted chicken or fish, or as a hearty vegetarian main course alongside a green salad and some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
