I also outline how to roast Kohlrabi in the oven in the recipe card below (at the end of the post) with step-by-step photos and directions.
First off, you may have never heard of Kohlrabi, so, let me define it for you.
According to Wikipedia:
Kohlrabi, also called German turnip, is a biennial vegetable, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. It is another cultivar of the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, and gai lan. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
This Roasted Kohlrabi recipe is very basic but you can experiment with your favorite seasonings.
I love it with Asian flavors like soy sauce, sesame oil (and seeds), and ginger. For another take, it tastes great with aged cheeses, like Parmesan.
The chives in these photos came from our kitchen garden. Chives are so easy to grow and go so well with Kohlrabi.
