Cabbage and Kohlrabi Recipes

Thanks to Kristyn for these recipes. 

She says: "This is a really good cabbage soup that is a little different than the norm.  The kids even liked it."

Roasted Kohlrabi

Ingredients

• 4 kohlrabi bulbs, peeled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1.     Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

2.     Cut the kohlrabi into 1/4 inch thick slices, then cut each of the slices in half. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss kohlrabi slices in the olive oil mixture to coat. Spread kohlrabi in a single layer on a baking sheet.

3.     Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in order to brown evenly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven to allow the Parmesan cheese to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
