Kohlrabi Fries

  • To cut and peel the kohlrabi, remove the top and bottom of the bulb with a sharp, butchers knife. Make sure to remove more from the bottom and check to make sure that all is left is the soft, white flesh. If the bottom looks fiberous, cut more away, the bottom has a denser flash towards the roots that is not pleasant to eat.
  • Using a pairing knife, remove the outer skin from the kohlrabi, cutting away in long ribbons until all of the peel is gone.
  • Slice the kohlrabi with butchers knife into uniform sticks, about 1/2 inch by length kohlrabi bulb you are working with.
  • When all of the kohlrabi is sliced place into large bowl and cover with olive oil. Mix to cover kohlrabi thoroughly.
