Roasted Kohlrabi Koins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut off tops of kohlrabi bulbs and peel outer skin. Trim just the very ends. Slice into 1/8 inch coins.

On a small baking sheet pour the olive oil. Add coins and coat with oil very well. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, grated garlic and thyme. Toss to coat, evenly distributing ingredients. Spread out into a single layer. Put on middle rack of preheated oven.

After 15 minutes turn coins over and put back in oven for an additional 15 minutes.

Kohlrabi should be slightly browned and still have a little bite. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

cook's notes

I saw these green balls at the Farmers Market and had to try them. I think I had passed them up previously because they looked like beets and I hate beets.

When I got home, I trimmed them up and tried them raw and knew we would become great friends. While I roasted them that night, I also shredded them up in a salad and they were equally delightful.
