Ingredients
  • - 1 medium kohlrabi, peeled
  • - leaves from one kohlrabi, washed and patted dry
  • - 1½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • - ½ teaspoon cider vinegar, divided
  • - ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus scant ⅛ teaspoon
  • - ¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 250℉. Line a non-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a mandolin, slice kohlrabi bulb into very thin slices (use smallest setting). Place slices in a medium bowl. Drizzle with ½ teaspoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon vinegar. Sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon black pepper and ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt. Using your hands separate pieces and rub in oil, vinegar and spices until each piece is well coated on both sides. Place pieces side by side, but not overlapping, on baking sheet.
  2. Cut out center rib of each kohlrabi leaf. Roughly cut leaves into 1½” bite sized pieces. Place in same bowl used to mix kohlrabi pieces. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon vinegar, 1/16th teaspoon black pepper, and a scant ⅛ teaspoon Kosher salt. Using hands rub each leaf with the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to coat evenly. Lay out pieces side by side, but not overlapping, on the rest of the baking sheet (be sure leaves are completely straightened out and flat and are not folded over in any spots).. If you don’t have enough room for all the leaves, prepare a second baking sheet (you can also choose to do two baking sheets from the beginning. Place all the kohlrabi pieces on one sheet and all the leaves on the other).
  3. Bake for 30-40 minutes, rotating baking sheet(s) a couple of times, until kohlrabi pieces are deep golden brown and leaves are airy and crisp, not chewy. Note that some chips will get crisp before others. Check often after 30 minutes and transfer chips as they are done to a cooling rack. Chips are best eaten immediately. Chips can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days; however humidity does affect them and make them soft.
