Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups kohlrabi (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Peel the kohlrabi and dice it into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds to toast the spices slightly.
Add the diced kohlrabi to the skillet and toss to evenly coat with the spice mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kohlrabi becomes tender but still holds its shape.
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes to lightly caramelize the kohlrabi, stirring frequently.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the kohlrabi. Toss to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or enjoy on its own as a light, spicy meal.
