  • Blot away any excess moisture with a tea towel or paper towels.
  • Place kohlrabi fries in a bowl with the 3 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, tossing or stirring to coat.
  • Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy.

Notes

Save the leaves and saute them like you would kale or other leafy green vegetables.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, to make clean up simple and prevent the fries from sticking.
Cut the fries into equally sized pieces so that they will cook at roughly the same rate.
Customize the kohlrabi fries by changing the spice mixture. You could also try sprinkling freshly grated Parmesan cheese over freshly baked fries for an irresistibly cheesy, umami flavor.
Kohlrabi fries like French fries are best eaten right away. The longer they sit the soggier they will become.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
To Reheat: Place the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until crispy and warmed through.
