I would like to introduce you to my kohlrabi vegetables recipe here. You can quickly and easily bring a fine fresh cabbage vegetable onto your plate.
Do you know the experience of peeling a kohlrabi fresh from the field, cutting it into pieces and eating it raw? The cabbage is always a bit sweet and juicy. That’s what I like about it!
The German turnip grows above ground. This means there is no need to wash it. You can even use the large leaves on the stems like a salad or vegetable.
Will you follow me to my cooking cabinet? Then I’ll show you the professional preparation step by step with a cooking video. Have fun and enjoy cooking!

1. What is the Best Way to Prepare Kohlrabi Vegetables?
For a fresh rutabaga vegetable, I recommend you keep a few things in mind:
- It is best to buy kohlrabi with the cabbage leaves. Cabbage leaves contain more vitamins than the tuber itself.
- You can use the leaves to make pesto, vegetables, cabbage wraps, chips…. chips. Rabbit owners already have another purpose for this anyway 😉
- You don’t really need to wash the cabbage. Organic quality is not sprayed. If they are grown conventionally, please rinse the tubers and leaves once to be on the safe side.
- To pee, you need a medium-sized vegetable or fruit knife.
- Further on in this article, I will introduce you to some of the cutting methods: Splits, cubes, sticks…
- For seasoning you need salt, pepper, nutmeg.
- Butter or ghee is a good choice, you can also use olive oil!
- You can use thyme, parsley or chervil as herbs.
Kohlrabi leaves are too good to throw away. Just use them in your smoothie or cooked. I like to make kohlrabi crisps 🙂

Simple instructions for the attractive and fine preparation of kohlrabi vegetables
Ingredients
| Kohlrabi vegetables | ||
| 250 | g | kohlrabi (I use organic kohlrabi) |
| 2 | tbs | Water |
| 15-30 | g | butter (I like to use ghee) |
| 1/4 | tsp | Salt (I use primal salt or Himalayan salt) |
| 4-6 | pinches | black pepper, ground |
| 4 | pinches | nutmeg |
| 1 | tsp | thyme (I also use herbs de Provence) |
| Kohlrabi crisps | ||
| 1-2 | bunch | kohlrabi leaves |
| 1 | tbs | oliv oil |
| 1 | tsp | Salt (I like to use salt flower) |
Instruction
Prepare ingredients
Prepare the ingredients, peel the kohlrabi.
Cut
Now decide on a type of cut:
vegetable cubes and sticks go very well with fish, while wedges are an all-round talent.
I like to cut the wedges into a half-moon shape because it looks better.
When cutting, please pay attention to the size:
cut the same size so that the vegetables cook evenly.
Sauté
Put the cut rutabagas in the pot, add a little water, butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg and sugar and cook with the lid on.
In the video, I show you the vitamin-preserving preparation in a special vegetable pot with temperature measurement on the lid.
I cook the vegetables in a temperature range of 90-140°C.
Finish
Depending on the cut, the vegetables will be cooked al dente after 6-10 minutes.
Remove the lid, allow the liquid to boil down briefly and refine with herbs.
You can now season your vegetables again with salt, pepper, nutmeg and sugar.
Arrange
Arrange the vegetables and serve.
Optional with kohlrabi crisps
Cut leaves
Trim the washed kohlrabi leaves and cut out the middle stalk. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Marinate leaves
Marinate the kohlrabi leaves in a bowl with oil.
Finish crisps
Place the leaves side by side on a baking tray with baking paper and cook in the oven for approx. 8 minutes until crisp.
Then season with salt and serve with the vegetables.
Serve
I like to put the kohlrabi crispss on the kohlrabi vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
