Baked celery root with carrots

Ingredients:

• 1300 gr. celery roots, peel and cut into small cubes
• 1300 g carrots, peeled and cut into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 6 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 teaspoon hot paprika
• Coarse salt

Preparation:

1. Place a baking tray with high sides in the bottom of the oven and preheat to 220°C.
2. In a bowl, combine the celery root with a tablespoon of thyme, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of hot paprika, and salt to taste. Place the celery root on a separate baking sheet lined with a double layer of foil, pinch the ends of the foil together, and seal tightly.
   
   Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the celery root until half-cooked, about 25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss the carrots with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining hot paprika, and season with salt. Spread the carrots in an even layer on a preheated baking sheet, place in the oven, and roast until tender, about 35 minutes.
4. After 25 minutes, remove the foil-wrapped celery root, open it, and add it to the carrots. Bake the celery root, carrots, and parsley for another 15 minutes.
