Frequently Asked Questions About Steamed celery root
Is steamed celery root the same as celery?
No. Steamed celery root is made from celeriac, the plant’s swollen root, while celery usually means the crisp stalks. They have different textures and flavors, so celery stalks are not a direct substitute for celery root in most recipes.
How do you make steamed celery root?
To make steamed celery root, peel the rough outer skin, cut the root into evenly sized pieces, and steam until a fork slides in easily. Keeping the pieces similar in size helps them cook at the same rate.
What does steamed celery root taste like?
Steamed celery root tastes mildly sweet, earthy, and slightly nutty, with a softer flavor than raw celeriac. Its texture becomes tender but can still hold its shape when the pieces are not overcooked.
Do you have to peel celery root before steaming it?
Yes, peel celery root before steaming it. Its thick, uneven skin can be tough, and dirt can remain in the crevices. Use a sturdy peeler or a knife, and trim away any dark or woody spots.
How do you stop celery root from turning brown before steaming?
To keep celery root from browning after peeling and cutting, place the pieces in water with a little lemon juice. Drain them before steaming; the brief soak helps limit discoloration from exposure to air.
Can you mash steamed celery root like potatoes?
Yes, steamed celery root can be mashed into a smooth or rustic purée. Mash it while warm and add a little butter, olive oil, or milk if needed; add liquid gradually because celeriac can become watery.
What goes well with steamed celery root?
Steamed celery root pairs well with lemon, parsley, dill, olive oil, and creamy sauces. It also works as a side for roasted meat, fish, or beans; a bright, acidic dressing balances its earthy flavor.
How long does steamed celery root last in the fridge?
Steamed celery root keeps for about 3–4 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking, and discard it if it develops an unusual smell, slimy texture, or noticeable discoloration.
Can you freeze steamed celery root?
Yes, you can freeze steamed celery root, although it may be softer and more watery after thawing. Freeze it in a sealed container once cool, then use it in soup or purée, where the texture change matters less.
Is steamed celery root a good substitute for potatoes?
Yes, steamed celery root can replace potatoes in purées and some side dishes, especially when you want a less starchy, earthier result. It is not as fluffy as potato, so combining the two can give a more familiar mash.

What is Steamed celery root?
Steamed celery root is celeriac—the knobbly root of a celery relative, rather than the familiar crisp stalk—cooked until tender with steam. It is a simple way to prepare the vegetable while keeping its mild, earthy flavour at the centre. In its European home, celeriac is also served in soups, purées and salads; elsewhere, it works just as easily as a vegetable side.
The flesh turns soft and slightly sweet, with a gentle celery-like aroma. Serve it warm with herbs and olive oil, or cool it and add it to a salad with a sharp dressing. With 2.2 g of fibre per 100 g, it suits a light plant-based meal; pair it with beans, lentils or another protein-rich dish for a more substantial plate.
