Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and cut into fry-sized sticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (about half a lime)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch of salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Peel and cut the kohlrabi bulbs into sticks roughly ¼ to ½ inch thick, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
  3. Dry the kohlrabi sticks thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the kohlrabi sticks with olive oil until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the oiled kohlrabi and toss well to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through (around 15 minutes) to brown on all sides. Check at 20 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  8. While the fries roast, prepare the dip by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Once fries are crispy and cooked through, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two to crisp up further.
  10. Serve the fries warm with the spicy sriracha lime dip on the side.

Notes

Drying the kohlrabi thoroughly and tossing with cornstarch before roasting are key to achieving crispy fries. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Flip fries halfway through cooking for even browning. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning. The dip can be made dairy-free by substituting vegan mayo or coconut yogurt. Leftover fries reheat best in a hot oven, not microwave.
