What it is
A smart keto alternative to the traditional Cuban fried yuca. Celeriac (celery root) is cut into thick sticks, fried until golden and tender-crisp, offering a similar texture to yuca. Served with a classic garlicky mojo sauce for dipping.
Key ingredients
Celeriac (celery root), high-heat frying oil (e.g., olive, avocado), garlic, lime juice, salt, black pepper.
If you order it anyway
Strictly replace yuca with celeriac. Ensure the frying oil is keto-friendly and not shared with high-carb items. Confirm mojo sauce has no added sugar.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in mojo sauce. Cross-contamination if fried in oil used for breaded or high-carb items. Celeriac, while lower carb than yuca, still contains moderate carbs, so portion awareness is important.
