Air Fryer Kohlrabi Fries

Hi Everyone, these Air Fryer Kohlrabi Fries are a great way to enjoy Kohlrabi.

They have a minimal amount of regular olive oil, making them healthier than deep-fried French fries.

I love how Kohlrabi still retains some crunch and texture to it, even after it is cooked instead of getting mushy or soggy.

What is Kohlrabi?

I find Kohlrabi to be an incredibly versatile vegetable that is surprisingly not mainstream.

According to Wikipedia:

Kohlrabi, also called German turnip, is a biennial vegetable, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. It is another cultivar of the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, Savoy cabbage, and gai lan. It can be eaten raw or cooked.

Where do you get Kohlrabi?

I get Kohlrabi from my organic CSA share box but you can also get it from the farmer’s market.

These Air Fryer Kohlrabi Fries are garnished with chives but you can use parsley or another favorite greet as well.

    These turned out delicious! Mine were ready in 22 minutes. Just a quick note, I noticed you mentioned twice in this article that kohlrabi is a root vegetable, but it isn’t; like its cruciferous cousins cabbage and broccoli, it actually grows above the soil. It’s an interesting looking plant and very easy to grow if you have a garden! Thanks again for the recipe! I’ll be visiting your website again for more air fryer recipes in the future.
