Ingredients

1 apple, thinly sliced

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup water

1 tbsp honey

1/4 tsp salt

2 medium celery roots, peeled, cut into 1 inch wedges

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

4 oz feta cheese

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 cup toasted pepitas

2 tbsp parsley, chopped

Method

1. Combine the apple cider vinegar, water, honey and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour over the sliced apples and let sit for at least 20 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Toss celery root with olive oil and salt. Spread onto a sheet pan and roast, until tender and caramelized.

3. While the celery root is roasting, make the whipped feta. Combine the feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil and lemon juice in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of water if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.

4. To assemble, spread the whipped feta across a serving platter and arrange the warm roasted celery root over the top. Drain the pickled apples and scatter them throughout. Top with pepitas, chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
