Roasted Kohlrabi

Recently I made some roasted kohlrabi, given to me by my friend S. They had a taste of turnips, or even parsnips and are low carb. It required peeling the skins and cutting them into slices, looking much like potato. I roasted them for 30 minutes at 350F with some olive oil and salt.

My friend S dropped by with these jars of sour cherry compote that she made with her family. She also brought me fresh beets and kohlrabi from her sister's farm, so fresh I had to wash the grime off the roots!   Any simple recipe ideas? It would be great to use those large beet leaves.

My girlfriend S gave me these Kohlrabi vegetables the other day. I had never made these before. Apparently you can eat them raw in salads. I ended up roasting mine. They have a 'radish' kind of taste. They may be better in soups or stews or maybe even stir-fried. Still, it's a great vegetable. Do you know any good ways to prepare Kohlrabi?  Or have you ever heard of this vegetable?
