INGREDIENT NOTES:
KOHLRABI:
The “German turnip” is another name for it. It comes in purple, green, and white colors & you may use any one of them in your recipe.
SEASONING:
Use the already-made or bought Italian seasoning to give the classic touch to your Kohlrabi (roasted). You might choose to substitute fresh herbs for dried ones.
OIL:
You may use oil of olives (light/extra-virgin) or avocadoes to fry/roast our Kohlrabi.
CHEESE:
If you are short on time then buy the already-shredded pack of parmesan cheese. Otherwise, buy fresh parmesan cheese & grate it by yourself. It will be best.
POWDERED GARLIC:
You may use garlic (fresh) but there is a strong chance that it might get burned. Therefore, we recommend the powder of garlic for its flavor in our recipes.

TIPS:
- If you got leaves along with a bulb of Kohlrabi then wash, dry, chop, and saute them. They have the nutritional benefits of fiber and minerals. So, use it
- If the size of Kohlrabi is large then it has hard skin. You will find it challenging to peel the whole bulb. So you may follow some tips:
- Either blanch it or rotate it in the microwave.
- First, slice it into wedges & then peel. It will take a bit more time but will de-skin with ease.
- You may add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar or juice (1 tbsp) + zest of lemon (a tsp).
