Even cubes
Similar sizes help celeriac and potatoes cook together.
Roast vegetables together and mix the cold quark alongside. Add it only when serving.
Why this recipe works
Even cubes and space on the tray help them cook uniformly. Quark, milk and parsley make the cold accompaniment. This makes two vegetarian main portions.
Recipe
Roasted celeriac and potato cubes with cool parsley quark and lemon.
Preheat oven to 200 °C conventional heat. Dice celeriac and potatoes about 2 cm. Mix with oil, 2 g salt and half the pepper.
Spread in one layer on a large lined tray. Roast on the middle shelf about 30 to 35 minutes until tender, turning after about 20 minutes. Cook longer if needed; a knife must enter the thickest pieces easily.
Meanwhile finely chop parsley. Mix quark, milk, lemon, the remaining 1 g salt and remaining pepper until smooth. Fold in parsley and refrigerate until serving.
Divide hot vegetables among plates and add all the herb quark. Serve immediately as two vegetarian main portions without additional sides.
Kitchen know-how

Leave space between pieces. Crowding produces more steam and less browning.
