Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large Kohlrabi bulb, spiralized
- 6 tablespoons Butter, divided
- 20–30 Sage leaves, chopped (about ¼ cup), divided
- ¼ cup Pine nuts
- Sea salt, to taste (omit if using salted butter)
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Kohlrabi Noodles: Peel the kohlrabi bulb and use a spiralizer to create noodles. Cut the noodles into shorter lengths for easier eating.
- Cook Noodles: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter and add half of the chopped sage. Once melted, add the kohlrabi noodles. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired tenderness.
- Toast Pine Nuts: In a separate skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make Sage Brown Butter: In the same skillet used for pine nuts, add the remaining butter and sage. Cook over medium heat until the butter shimmers and turns slightly brown.
- Combine and Serve: Drizzle the sage brown butter over the cooked kohlrabi noodles. Transfer to plates and top with toasted pine nuts, additional sage, salt, and pepper.
