Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Cut the kohlrabi into 1/4 inch thick slices, then cut each of the slices in half. Combine olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss kohlrabi slices in the olive oil mixture to coat. Spread kohlrabi in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally in order to brown evenly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven to allow the Parmesan cheese to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put beans in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and leave to soak for about 60 minutes.

ROASTED KOHLRABI WITH BUTTERED HAZELNUTS
Tender roasted kohlrabi makes a great foil for crunchy butter-toasted hazelnuts in this easy side dish. It's the ideal mix of sweet and savory, thanks to the addition of fresh thyme, apple-cider vinegar, and maple syrup.

Steps:
- Put oven rack just below middle position and put baking pan on rack, then preheat oven to 450°F. (If roasting vegetables along with turkey, preheat pan for 15 minutes while turkey roasts, then roast vegetables underneath turkey.)
- Trim and peel kohlrabi, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Toss kohlrabi with 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Transfer kohlrabi to preheated pan in oven and roast 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel butternut squash, then quarter lengthwise, seed, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Toss squash with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in same bowl.
- Stir kohlrabi, turning it, then push it to one side of pan.
- Add squash to opposite side of pan and roast, stirring and turning squash over halfway through roasting, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, about 30 minutes total (after squash is added).
- Toss vegetables to combine and transfer to a dish.
Tips:
- Choose the right kohlrabi: Look for small, firm kohlrabi with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid kohlrabi that are large or have cracks or bruises.
- Peel and cut the kohlrabi: Use a sharp knife to peel the kohlrabi, then cut it into desired shapes, such as wedges, cubes, or slices.
- Roast the kohlrabi: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the kohlrabi with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is tender and slightly browned.
- Add flavor and texture: To add more flavor and texture to your roasted kohlrabi, you can add other vegetables to the baking sheet, such as potatoes, carrots, or parsnips. You can also sprinkle the kohlrabi with herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Serve immediately: Roasted kohlrabi is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. However, you can also store leftover roasted kohlrabi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Roasted kohlrabi is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and it is also low in calories and carbohydrates. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a hearty main course, roasted kohlrabi is a great option.
