    Crinkle cut kohlrabi sticks with Dijon Dilly dip

    Nutrient-rich Crispy Raw Kohlrabi Sticks with Dijon Dilly Dip make a delicious healthy snack. Learn how to cut kohlrabi to make lunch box veggie sticks! Ideal for those on a Keto diet, too.

    These raw kohlrabi sticks are as crisp and juicy as an apple with a slight nutty flavour. You might think they're similar to raw broccoli stalks but they're one hundred times better!

    Since they have a mild flavour, I paired them with a dip with strong flavours. This Dijon Dilly Dip has a creamy texture and a bite from the Dijon and dill. Delish! And while I love this dill-flavoured dip, these kohlrabi sticks would also be great with my Mayo-Free Avocado Green Goddess Dressing.

    What is kohlrabi?

    If you're not familiar with kohlrabi, let me tell you about it. First of all, it's pronounced COAL-ROB-EE. It's a member of the turnip family, but it doesn't taste like turnip. It's popular in Germany and other eastern European countries, (in fact, it's sometimes called a German turnip) but here in North America we've been a little slow in realizing its nutritional benefits.

    Is Kohlrabi good for you?

    Kohlrabi is a powerhouse of nutrition. It's low in calories, low in carbs, and as a cruciferous vegetable, it's a cancer-fighter. It also improves heart health and decreases the risk of diabetes and obesity. And . . . it tastes great! It's a healthy snack for anyone and it's keto-friendly, too.

    The globe-shaped stem of the plant is the part that you'll discover in supermarkets or in farmer's markets. It can be white, light green, or even purple. I like it raw in salads like this Kohlrabi Winter Salad, but I also like it cooked in this crustless paleo Kohlrabi Quiche.

    How do you cut kohlrabi to eat it raw?

    It may seem a little hard to figure out how to cut kohlrabi to make raw veggie sticks, but it's quite easy.

    1. Start by removing the stalks (if they haven't already been trimmed.)
    2. Slice off both the stem end and the root end.
    3. Next, remove any of the stalks or leaves that may be left on the sides.
    4. Then use a sharp vegetable peeler or a paring knife to remove the tough skin.
    5. And finally, use a sharp knife to cut slices and then trim those into sticks.

    Using a handheld crinkle cutter to cut raw kohlrabi veggie sticks

    Using a handheld crinkle cutter makes these raw kohlrabi sticks so much more fun to eat, don't you think? Sometimes if you're trying to convince kids to try a new veggie, cutting it in a different shape is all they need to give it a try. I use this crinkle cutter for other firm veggies too, like carrots and beets.

    I hope you'll give kohlrabi a try next time you see it in the produce section! It's inexpensive, it's nutritious, and it's delicious!

    And if you're looking for another keto dip, you'll love this 5-Minute Bacon and Chive Jalapeño Dip, too!

      I had never tried kohlrabi before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I was agreeably surprised! This stuff is good!! I cut it up with other vegetables and had it with that yummy dip. I'll be buying this whenever I see it in the store from now on!
