Long Lost Broccoli Stems

everydayhappyfoods|Broccoli stems

Saving the Stems

Most people eat the florets and toss the stalks in the trash. We will admit they can look a bit scary and inedible, but underneath a layer or two of peel is a delicious broccoli stem!

 

Peel

Once you remove the florets use a vegetable peeler to remove

some of the fibrous outside layers. This step is very easy!

 

Spiralize, slice or grate

Now you can slice and use in a stir fry, add to a stock and make

a soup, cut into matchsticks or grate for a broccoli salad or even

turn into noodles with a spiralizer. The possibilities are endless.

1 small apple, sliced                          3 pitted dates
