Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Peel the kohlrabi generously. This is one step I never skip. Even if the bulb looks young and tender, the outer layer can still be fibrous. Removing that thick skin gives you fries with a much better texture.
    3. Slice the peeled kohlrabi into evenly sized sticks, about ¼-inch thick. Try to keep them similar in size so they roast evenly.
    4. Place the kohlrabi fries in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss until every fry is evenly coated.
    5. Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Give them a little space between each piece. Crowding the pan causes the vegetables to steam instead of roast, and that's the quickest way to lose those crispy edges.
    6. Roast for about 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway through. The fries should be golden around the edges and tender when pierced with a fork.
    7. Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.
    After testing this recipe several times, I found that roasting works better than air frying for larger batches. The oven allows the fries to caramelize beautifully without needing to be cooked in multiple rounds. If you do use an air fryer, simply work in smaller batches for the crispiest results.
