Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat your air-fryer to 160°C.

2

Prick the head of celeriac all over with a fork. Drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub to coat evenly. Place into the air-fryer basket and cook for 90 minutes, removing it 3 times during this time to brush with olive oil that has dripped off. Lining the air-fryer basket with parchment paper or foil will catch the oil and make cleaning up easier.
