Hi Everyone, You may know about the incredible German turnip, Kohlrabi, but have you had it grilled?
Kohlrabi is incredible as a grilled vegetable, you can then have it as an appetizer, or side dish, or use it as a part of another recipe.
You may have searched for any of these variations:
Kohlrabi is available year-round, depending on your location, and is considered a cool-weather vegetable and more plentiful in the winter months.
We find that kohlrabi keeps very well.
In New Jersey, it's available June, July, September, and October.
The bulb and leafy greens of kohlrabi are edible. We usually peel the purple skin with a vegetable peeler before cooking and eating.
Yes, you can grill kohlrabi and it is delicious. We have our full, printable kohlrabi recipe in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Spray regular olive oil, evenly over the kohlrabi slices, and add fine salt to both sides.
On a preheated gas grill, on medium-high heat, it takes 3-4 minutes on each side for a total of 6-8 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the kohlrabi slices and your particular brand of grill. When they are done, you can have the grilled kohlrabi as an appetizer, side, or as part of another recipe. It goes great with a creamy dipping sauce, enjoy!

Kohlrabi is an interesting little vegetable, and a bit uncommon where I live. Sort of brocolli/cabbage/turnips combined,
with a taste that compares to these vegetables too.
I hadn't thought of grilling it, but I think you've suggested a great way to eat kohlrabi (it can be one of those vegetables that one 'does not know what to do with'!). Your recipe is extremely simple (and a lot of words!), but would give someone new to cooking confidence they could follow all the steps. Thanks for re-introducing me to kohlrabi, I'll try grilling it next time I find it!
