Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add sliced kohlrabi and cook until tender, but still firm. I think I cooked between 4-5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop cooking and dry on a paper towel.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve!

Why this Sautéed Kohlrabi works for PCOS
A PCOS-friendly snack like this Sautéed Kohlrabi should include protein or fat, not carbohydrates alone. Carb-only snacks (fruit, crackers, granola bars) spike blood sugar then crash it within 60-90 minutes, leaving you hungrier and more reactive to whatever comes next.
