Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large bulbs kohlrabi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the kohlrabi bulbs and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the kohlrabi slices on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each kohlrabi slice in flour, dip it into the egg, and coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
Fry the breaded kohlrabi slices in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom.
Arrange a layer of fried kohlrabi slices in the dish, then top with a light layer of marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layering until all the kohlrabi is used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
