The weirdest vegetable ever. Kohlrabi.

Ok-so hear me out. The last time we tried it, we didn't read the instructions very well so we kind of screwed it up. We threw it cubed into a stir fry and left too much of the skin on. It was pretty bad. Kind of like eating a tasteless radish with part of a bike inner-tube still attached to it. This time we did it right. Here is how we cooked the kohlrabi:

  • 2-4 kohlrabi's peeled, and sliced into 1/4" slices
  • 2-3 minced cloves of garlic
  • 2-3 tbsp. olive oil
  • bowl
  • clean-ish hands
  • big cookie sheet
  • one broiler heated to 450. (I was going to use the grill but ran out of fuel.)

Directions: put the first 3 ingredients in the bowl. Use the clean-ish hands to mix everything together. Put under the broiler (or on the grill if you have fuel) for 10 minutes, then flip the slices and broil for another 10 minutes. 

Enjoy it. It's just that easy and really tasty. We think they would make good roasted fries, too. (Like the sweet potato variety. Same process, just a different cut to the veggie.)

And here is some nutritional info from our friends at nutritiondata.com if you are into that sort of thing:

The only photo we were able to nab was the aftermath of our kohlrabi laden euphoria.
