Roasted Kohlrabi
Kohlrabi can be eaten raw drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper, or dipped in hummus. The leaves are good steamed or sauteed. I prefer most vegetables roasted, as in this recipe. I think kohlrabi tastes like broccoli stems. Others say it's more like a potato and artichoke. Try this nutritious underrated vegetable, and decide for yourself! -Rebecca (Photo credit: Food Network)

Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and brown for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
