ROASTED KOHLRABI

Hands-on time: 10 minutes Time to table: 45 minutes Serves 4 (smallish servings since roasted vegetables shrink so much) 1 1/2 pounds fresh kohlrabi, ends trimmed, thick green skin sliced off with a knife, diced 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon garlic (garlic is optional, to my taste) Salt Good vinegar Set oven to 450F. Toss the diced kohlrabi with olive oil, garlic and salt in a bowl. (The kohlrabi can be tossed with oil and seasonings right on the pan but uses more oil.) Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and put into oven (it needn't be fully preheated) and roast for 30 - 35 minutes, stirring every five minutes after about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a good vinegar (probably at the table so the kohlrabi doesn't get squishy).
