Kohlrabi & Sweet Potato Bake with Lemon Thyme


Kohlrabi is really versatile: grate or slice it raw for salads, steam or boil and toss in butter and herbs or vinaigrette, stir-fry, or add to soups and stews. It pairs well with herbs and citrus flavours so adding lemon thyme really lifts this dish. Serve as a side or with a green salad as a main course.
