A wonderfully easy soda bread recipe made using root vegetables. This celeriac and parsnip bread has a delicious flavour that's perfect for tempting reluctant vegetable eaters to give veg a try. It's very adaptable and can be made with just parsnips or other root vegetables. No yeast is needed for this easy vegetable bread recipe.
Despite this tasting quite strongly of root vegetable (I thought) both of the kids loved this vegetable bread. Maybe some of my hard work is paying off and they're getting used to different tastes, or maybe bread is always going to be a winner.
We're still persisting with limiting snacks and I served this with soup, which they're not very keen on, so I think that helped the bread get eaten up.
It's also really easy and doesn't need any kneading or rising time so doesn't need too much forward planning and is a good way of using up odd bits of root veg that are hanging around in the fridge.
What to serve with this parsnip and celeriac vegetable bread
My favourite way to enjoy this vegetable soda bread is with soup. It goes well with most vegetable soups. You might like to try it with:
It's also really delicious served with butter (I use a vegan butter alternative) and a salad or some beans.

Thanks Emily, would love to hear how it goes down if you try it!

Thanks for commenting. You could make it with just parsnip, I haven't tried it with other veg yet. Would love to hear how it goes if you do try!

This looks lovely! I am not sure about celeriac...do you think you could use a different vegetable instead? Otherwise, I reckon I could adapt this using gluten-free flour to see how it goes down! Sounds like a fab idea and I love the concept of your blog! I am forever trying to find 'healthy' food that the kids love!

This looks lovely, I just recently found celeraic and it would work really well in bread

I love "different" things, particularly since we often have to cook with ":different" ingredients due to food allergies. This looks great - and my kids love parsnips believe it or not!

Lucky you! Mine only like parsnips in cakes - but I will keep trying!
