Pat very dry & peel the bulbs, removing the fibrous layer. Cut into half inch-thick discs, & slice discs into sticks. Adding one tbsp at a time, toss the ‘fries’ in oil of choice until lightly coated. Add pepper to taste. Place in single layer on baking pan, fries should not be touching, layer on 2 pans if necessary. Toss carrot rounds in olive oil following this same method, but toss in salt & pepper to taste. Line a baking pan with parchment & put carrots down in one even layer. Put carrots in oven rotating pan once, & stirring carrots once, cook until soft & lightly brown. Once browned, remove pan from oven, sprinkle with a bit of water, about 1 tbsp & return carrots to oven until very soft. Do not allow to burn. While carrots are cooking, in a medium non-reactive bowl, mix vinegar, garlic & onion powder, allow to stand. When carrots have cooked, remove from oven & increase temperature to 450 degrees (400 if convection). Put kohlrabi sticks in oven. Repeat process of rotating pan & stirring sticks once. Cook until browned, not burned. While kohlrabi is cooking, place ketchup, vinegar mixture, & carrots in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If mix is too thick, add a bit of water (1 tsp at a time) & blend. Taste & adjust seasoning as needed (keep in mind Kohlrabi has salt & pepper). If a sweeter ketchup is desired, add 1 tsp of local honey. Straight from oven, put cooked Kohlrabi into a mixing bowl. Toss with salt & chopped parsley. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side. Kohlrabi can also be put in an air fryer or deep fried, if this is your preference **Kohlrabi Greens can be offered on the side as a sautéed green with olive oil, salt & a pinch of chili flake.
