As long as the kohlrabi's greens are fresh-looking and not wilted, you can eat them. They can be sauteéd just like spinach.

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

4 ounces slab or thick-cut bacon, cut into small pieces
1 pound medium kohlrabies, peeled, cut into ⅓-inch-thick wedges, plus 6 cups coarsely torn kohlrabi greens
