Kohlrabi Fries with Curry Ketchup

For kohlrabi fries, preheat oven to 200ºC (390ºF).

Peel kohlrabi, slice, and cut slices into sticks resembling fries. Place in small bowl, add oil, hot or sweet paprika powder, some curry powder if you wish, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well with your hands.

Place fries on a tray lined with baking paper (don’t overcrowd the tray, the fries should have enough space between them and not overlap too much). Bake for 15–25 minutes, depending on how thick the sticks are. They should still have a bit of a bite to them. Keep an eye on them as well, you don’t want them to burn. Transfer to a serving bowl and season to taste with salt.

While kohlrabi sticks are in the oven, prepare the curry ketchup. Place ketchup ingredients in a small saucepan. Mix thoroughly and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. It will not take long, about 1–2 minutes. Add 1–2 tablespoons water if the sauce seems too thick.

The sauce can be served warm or cold and keeps about 1 week in the fridge.
