Roasted kohlrabi with garlic butter
This delicious recipe for roasted kohlrabi is easy to make and very different from what you are used to.
Roasted Kohlrabi with Parmesan Cheese
Growing up, we never ate kohlrabi. In fact, I didn’t even know what it was, and I still think of it as an underrated vegetable. But kohlrabi is incredibly versatile. I usually use it in a nice salad like a broccoli kohlrabi salad. In fact, the taste of raw kohlrabi is delicious. It is very similar to apple and has the same crunch. Ideal for adding to a salad.
But this time I wanted to do something different and decided to see what happens when you roast it. I used a cast iron pan, but of course any ovenproof pan will do. The advantage of a cast iron pan is that it retains the heat well.
Easy recipe
The recipe for the roasted kohlrabi is really super simple. I had a huge amount of garlic in the house, because I got garlic along with some sprouts from the supplier. Luckily, it was already pureed in a jar. I love that. All in the name of convenience.
For the roasted kohlrabi, I first peel the kohlrabi and then dice it. Since it’s a round skin, the cubes are all a little uneven. Don’t make them too big, because you want them to cook well. Although you can eat kohlrabi raw, that is not what we are doing here.
Then I fry them in a lot of butter with a lot of garlic. Sprinkle it with parmesan cheese and put it in the oven. Depending on how thick or thin you cut the kohlrabi, it will take about 20 minutes in the oven. Serve with fresh parsley and some more grated cheese and you have a delicious side dish.
