Kohlrabi "Noodles" with Bacon and Parmesan brings tender-crisp ribbons of kohlrabi tossed with buttery richness, smoky bits of bacon, and sweet caramelized onion.

1

Use a spiralizer to cut the kohlrabi into thin noodle-like strands.
2

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion, and cook until the bacon starts to crisp and the onion is caramelized but not burning, 10 to 12 minutes.
3

Transfer the mixture to a small bowl, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet. If there is not enough bacon grease, add enough oil to make 1 tablespoon.
4

Add the kohlrabi to the skillet and season with salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kohlrabi begins to wilt and soften, 12 to 14 minutes.
5

Stir in the butter until melted. Add the bacon and onion mixture and stir in 1/2 of the Parmesan.
6

Serve right away, topped with the remaining Parmesan and the parsley.
