Mashed Kohlrabi with Roasted Garlic

Print Recipe

A comforting dish of creamy mashed kohlrabi mixed with aromatic roasted garlic, offering a unique twist on traditional mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large kohlrabi (yields 6–8 cups chopped)
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1/4 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (or nondairy alternative)
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt (split)
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the kohlrabi: Start by peeling the kohlrabi with a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut them into even cubes (about 1-inch) for uniform cooking.
  2. Roast the garlic: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast for about 30-35 minutes.
  3. Boil the kohlrabi: In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed kohlrabi with enough water to cover. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  4. Mash it up: Drain the kohlrabi and return them to the pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot, add cream, remaining salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and adjust: Taste your mashed kohlrabi, adjusting the flavors with more salt, pepper, or cream as desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based cream instead of heavy cream. You can also experiment by adding cheese or fresh herbs for variation.
