Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium kohlrabi bulbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs oregano or thyme, optional
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Vegetable peeler
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the kohlrabi bulbs thoroughly. Trim off the top and bottom ends.
  3. Peel the outer layer of the kohlrabi with a vegetable peeler or knife.
  4. Cut each kohlrabi bulb in half, then cut each half into wedges, about ½-inch thick. Aim for uniform size.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and dried herbs (if using).
  6. Add the kohlrabi wedges to the bowl with the garlic Parmesan mixture. Toss well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
  7. Spread the coated kohlrabi wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding; use two baking sheets if needed.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy wedges, ensure the kohlrabi is dry before tossing with the garlic Parmesan mixture. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is recommended for best flavor and browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.
