Q: What does kohlrabi taste like?

A: It has a mild, slightly sweet flavour — like a mix between cabbage and a turnip.

Q: Do you have to peel kohlrabi?

A: Yes — the outer layer is fibrous and should be removed before cooking.

Q: Can I make this vegan?

A: Yes — simply omit the Parmesan or use a plant-based cheese alternative.

Q: Can I air-fry the kohlrabi?

A: Absolutely — air fry at 400°F for about 18–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Q: How do I store leftovers?

A: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven.

Q: Can I use frozen kohlrabi?

A: Fresh is best for texture, but thawed frozen kohlrabi will work if dried well.

Q: Is this keto-friendly?

A: Yes — kohlrabi is low in carbs and fits well in a keto meal plan.

Q: Can I make this without cheese?

A: Definitely — it’s still flavourful with garlic and herbs alone.

Q: What are other ways to cook kohlrabi?

A: You can mash it, sauté it, or eat it raw in slaws or salads.

Q: Is kohlrabi a root vegetable?

A: Technically no — it’s a swollen stem, but it behaves like a root when cooked.

Kohlrabi is one of those vegetables that catches the eye at the farmer’s market but often leaves people wondering what to do with it.

Enter this simple and satisfying recipe: roasted kohlrabi wedges with garlic, thyme, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan.

When roasted, kohlrabi takes on a beautiful golden colour and a texture that’s tender on the inside with crisped, caramelised edges. The garlic and herbs bring aromatic depth, while the Parmesan adds a savoury umami finish that’s impossible to resist.

Think of these as a low-carb alternative to potato wedges — hearty, healthy, and every bit as satisfying. The prep is quick, the ingredients are minimal, and the result is a side dish that’s as delicious with roast chicken as it is with a salad or grilled fish.

Whether you're a kohlrabi first-timer or a diehard fan, this dish is the kind of everyday magic that turns simple produce into a star on your plate.

Tips til at tilberede kålrabi perfekt

Pil alt det hårde ydre lag af - det kan være fibrøst.
Skær i ensartede skiver for jævn tilberedning.
Spar ikke på krydderier - kålrabi er mild og elsker smag.
Brug høj varme for maksimal sprødhed.
Tilsæt parmesan i de sidste 5 minutter for at undgå at blive brændt.
Frisk timian eller rosmarin fremkalder jordagtige noter.
Vend halvvejs gennem stegningen for jævn bruning.
Serveres varm for den bedste tekstur.
Drys med citronskal eller chiliflager for at tilføje lyshed.
Prøv at dyppe i hvidløgsaioli eller græsk yoghurt for ekstra smag.

FAQ'er

Q: Hvordan smager kålrabi?
A: Den har en mild, let sødlig smag - som en blanding mellem kål og en majroe.

Q: Skal du skrælle kålrabi?
A: Ja - det ydre lag er fibrøst og bør fjernes før tilberedning.

Q: Kan jeg lave denne vegansk?
A: Ja - bare udelad parmesanen eller brug et plantebaseret ostealternativ.

Q: Kan jeg luftstege kålrabien?
A: Absolut - luftsteg ved 400°F i cirka 18-20 minutter, mens du ryster halvvejs igennem.

Q: Hvordan opbevarer jeg rester?
A: Opbevares i en lufttæt beholder i køleskabet i op til 3 dage. Genopvarm i ovnen.

Q: Kan jeg bruge frossen kålrabi?

Q: Er dette keto-venligt?
A: Ja - kålrabi er lavt i kulhydrater og passer godt ind i en keto madplan.

Q: Kan jeg lave dette uden ost?
A: Helt sikkert - det er stadig smagfuldt med hvidløg og urter alene.

A: Du kan mose det, sautere det eller spise det råt i slaws eller salater.

Q: Er kålrabi en rodfrugt?
