I truly believe Inflammation is the route cause to so many illnesses today. If you’re anything like me and struggle with keeping it at bay why not join me in a bowl of my Anti-inflammatory Roast Celeriac – a low carb alternative to potatoes made with celeriac.
If you’re not all that familiar with celeriac, it’s a low starch and low carb root vegetable that is simply delicious roasted. It has a mild nutty taste. Don’t be put off with its wart like exterior inside is a beautiful swan waiting to break free for the border!
Roasted until crisp with anti-inflammatory spices including paprika, ginger and cayenne pepper complemented with a touch of lemon and whole roasted garlic.
To keep your gut and tastebuds happy.
