  1. 01Peel the tough outer layer off each kohlrabi with a knife or sturdy peeler.
  2. 02Cut into fry-shaped sticks, about 1/4 inch by 3 inches.
  3. 03Toss with oil and seasoning.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
Kohlrabi looks like a pale green alien vegetable with tentacle-like stems. Peel off the outer layer and what's inside tastes like the sweet, crispy heart of a broccoli stem crossed with a turnip. It makes surprisingly good fries that are lower in carbs than potatoes and crispier than you'd expect.

Stores 3 days. Reheat at 400°F (200°C) for 3-4 minutes. They soften in the fridge, so the high temp blast is needed to re-crisp.
