For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use smoked paprika to add a hint of smokiness. Ensure the kohlrabi is cooked al dente to maintain a pleasant texture. Freshly grated Parmesan is highly recommended for the best flavor. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Kohlrabi: Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, transform the kohlrabi bulbs into thin noodles. (5 minutes)
02
StepRender Bacon and Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon lardons and sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the onions are beautifully caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, ensuring you reserve approximately 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet. If necessary, supplement with olive oil to reach the desired amount. (15 minutes)
03
StepSauté the Kohlrabi: Add the kohlrabi noodles to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Season generously with sea salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the kohlrabi begins to soften and wilt slightly, approximately 12-14 minutes. (15 minutes)
04
StepEmulsify and Combine: Stir in the butter until it is completely melted and coats the kohlrabi noodles. Return the bacon and onion mixture to the skillet, and then incorporate half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine all ingredients. (5 minutes)
05
StepServe: Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. (2 minutes)
