Kohlrabi fries:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare kohlrabi: Peel, slice them and cut the slices into sticks resembling fries. Place them in a small bowl; add the oil, hot or sweet paprika powder, some curry powder, if you wish, and some freshly ground black pepper. Mix well with your hands.2 kohlrabi + 1 tablespoon oil + pinch of hot paprika + pinch of sweet paprika + pinch of curry powder (all to taste)
- Roast: Spread the fries on a tray lined with baking paper (don't overcrowd the tray, they should have enough space and not touch each other too much) and bake for about 15 to 25 minutes, according to how thick the sticks are. They should still have a bit of a bite at the end of the cooking time. Keep an eye on them as well; you don't want them to become too dark.
- Serve: Place them in a serving bowl and add salt to taste.
