Roasted Kohlrabi

If you haven't tried kohlrabi yet, you're in for a treat! This quirky veggie has a subtle sweetness and a satisfying crunch that comes alive when roasted. In this simple recipe, we slice kohlrabi into disks, roast it to perfection, and top it off with a sprinkle of Parmesan (if you're feeling cheesy). It’s an easy way to enjoy a seasonal vegetable that's as delicious as it is unexpected!

Ingredients:

• 3 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and sliced into 1 cm disks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Kohlrabi: Place the kohlrabi disks in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat evenly.

3. Arrange and Roast: Lay the kohlrabi slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

4. Add Parmesan (Optional): If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the kohlrabi during the last 5 minutes of roasting, allowing it to melt and become crispy.

5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. The kohlrabi should be tender with a slightly crispy edge, and the Parmesan will add a lovely umami note.

Enjoy this as a side dish or even a healthy snack!
