How to Make Baked Celery

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 large bunches of celery.
  3. Cut celery into 2-inch pieces.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the celery with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  5. Spread the celery in a single layer in a large baking dish.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the celery is tender and slightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  7. Optional: For extra flavor, sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
