Maria MarloweDo you love to eat the sweet crown of a broccoli stalk but avoid eating the woody broccoli stems? Well, this innovation may just make you think twice!
If you usually throw out broccoli stems, you’re missing out! Not only are they just as nutritious as the florets you usually cook, but they are also incredibly delicious and versatile. Case in point? These broccoli stem chips.
You can make these whenever you’re making roasted broccoli florets, or simply whenever you have broccoli stems leftover. Also try broccoli stalk noodles for a twist!
But before you click to the next delicious recipe, here’s the recipe for broccoli stems chips.
