Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium kohlrabi bulbs (about 1.5 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from about 1/2 lemon)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra olive oil (for herb oil)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel kohlrabi bulbs and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss kohlrabi cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread kohlrabi cubes in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes. Halfway through (at 10 minutes), flip the cubes with a spatula.
  6. While kohlrabi roasts, combine parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest, garlic, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small food processor. Pulse until finely blended and bright green. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
  7. Continue roasting kohlrabi for another 10-15 minutes, until edges are crispy and centers are fork-tender.
  8. Transfer roasted kohlrabi to a serving bowl. Drizzle with herb oil and toss gently to coat.
  9. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan or smoked paprika if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

For best crispiness, pat kohlrabi cubes dry before roasting and avoid crowding the pan. Herb oil can be made ahead and stored separately. Skip Parmesan for vegan/dairy-free. Try other fresh herbs like basil or tarragon for variation.
