Recipe: Roasted Kohlrabi with Garlic and Parmesan

Makes 3 to 4 side-dish servings

- 4 medium kohlrabi bulbs

- 1 clove garlic, sliced lengthwise into quarters

- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- Freshly ground black pepper

- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Remove stalks and leaves if still attached to the kohlrabi bulbs. Peel bulbs with a sharp paring knife, removing the green skin and outer 1/8-inch of the flesh. Cut into about ¾-inch dice. Put into a 2 ½-quart casserole dish and toss with garlic, olive oil and salt.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Roast kohlrabi, turning occasionally, about 30 to 35 minutes or until well browned. Remove from oven and discard garlic. Toss with pepper, divide among plates and top with Parmesan. Serve immediately.
