Who would have thought that celery root could turn into crumbs? I use it to bread chicken and fish or sprinkle on top of sautéed vegetables, or even as a rice-like side dish on its own. Watch Rorie turn these breadcrumbs into delicious chicken cutlets here!

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Remove the bumpy skin of the celery root with a knife. Cut into cubes.

3. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S blade, process five or six celery root cubes at a time until consistency resembles short grain brown rice, only a bit thicker.

4. Line two to three cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray with oil. Divide the riced celery root so you can lay a thin layer on each pan. Spray the top of each pan of “crumbs.” Combine spices and sprinkle some over each pan.

5. Place each rack on the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove pans and toss the “crumbs” so crispy outer pieces go toward the center and less done pieces move to the sides. Return them to the oven and check on them after five minutes. Readiness will depend on how full your tray is and what rack of the oven the pan is on. At this point watch your oven closely and check on the crumbs every few minutes to avoid burning them. They can go from not just ready to burned quality.

6. Allow crumbs to cool before using them in a recipe.

As crumbs for a few days. Not sure about the freezer. I would think they act as real breadcrumbs so, maybe try a few and see.

Has anyone frozen the crumbs?

What can I use instead of eggs on the chicken cutlets? My granddaughter has a severe allergy to eggs?

You could dip them in non-dairy milk or some oil to let the breadcrumbs stick. I have never tried freezing them but I would assume they should act as regular bread crumbs and should freeze.

delish! the breaded shnitzel was soo good!! It was so nice eating a breaded shnitzel guilt free! I did what I do for all shnitzel- broiled 450/500 for 6 min, flipped carefully, and broiled for 3-4 min more… the best way to make shnitzel- w or w/o breadcrumbs in the oven.. juicy and yum! I also sprayed the bottom of pan …
