Cebollitas Kohlrabi Asadas

This past weekend, as we were recovering from our travels across the country to meet family, T stopped by the grocery store again. He must have been missing me by his side cause he got me a 2 veggies which he thought I'd never tried before. He got me some Kohlrabi (New Veggie #17) and he got me a bunch of Cebollitas - which I ended up making New Veggie #64. I decided to make a traditional Asadas because its traditionally vegan and hence easy to adapt to my no-added-fat technique. 

Roasted Cebollitas

Prep Time: 15-20 min

Ingredients (2 Servings):

1. One bunch Scallions (Cebollitas) - 4 or 5 bulbs
2. 4-5 Small (baby) Kohlrabi
3. 2-3 cloves (or 1 tsp) garlic, minced finely
4. 1 tsp Ground Mustard Powder
5. Salt and Pepper, to taste
6. Lime Juice, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 F. Rinse the kohlrabi and cebollitas bulbs in water. Trim ends. For the kohlrabi, peel the thick skin off with a paring knife and dice each bulb into 8-12 pieces, making sure that all the pieces are approximately the same size. For the cebollitas, either slice the bulb lengthwise into 2 halves, or leave whole, as you prefer. If you do cut it into 2 halves, remember to handle each half gently else the leaves will separate and burn in the oven. In a ziploc bag, mix all spices and kohlrabi and give a good toss. Spread halved cebollitas on a greased cookie sheet and pour the tossed kohlrabi on top (this gets the spices on the cebollitas without having to handle them too much). Spread the veggies in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes on one side, give a quick toss, check to see if the kohlrabi is tender and then bake for another 5 minutes until both the cebollitas and kohlrabi is getting a nice char on it. Remove, sprinkle lime juice on top and serve warm.
