Easy. Simple. Healthful. And tastes good! In short, a win-win-win recipe.

Until now, I've only eaten kohlrabi raw, almost like apples except peeled and sliced. Raw kohlrabi is so full of flavor, moisture and most importantly for pre- and post-supper munchies, crunch. (Ha! Isn't it funny that my favorite way to eat kohlrabi is paired with apples! You'll love Kohlrabi & Apple Slaw with Creamy Coleslaw Dressing!)

So this is the first time I cooked kohlrabi, except for tucking some into this Warm Root Salad with Horseradish Vinaigrette where the kohlrabi flavor was mish-mashed with the other root vegetables.

And drum roll ... Roasted Kohlrabi stays on the Keeper List! I also love to cook the kohlrabi greens (that is, the kohlrabi leaves) like this, I use this recipe for Asian Greens.

WHAT IS KOHLRABI? Back to basics! Kohlrabi (kol-ROB-ee) is a member of the turnip family. Some times it's called "cabbage turnip". Mostly I find kohlrabi with bulbs that are a pretty light green color but I've also seen purple kohlrabi on occasion. What looks like a bulb is actually just an enlarged portion of the stalk. Especially to eat raw, look for small ones, about three inches across. At the farmers market, like mine, they'll often still be attached to their greens which you cook like collards, low and slow. If you like broccoli stalks, you'll like kohlrabi!
