http://bit.ly/2FmPkIf 8 Tasty Ways to Use Broccoli Stems8 Tasty Ways to Use Broccoli Stems Love broccoli but hate throwing away the stalks! I’ve got you covered with 8 creative and tasty ways to use broccoli stems. Okay, I’m going to be totally real with you, I HATE wasting food. Not only do I feel horrible because I know having access to good, healthy food is a luxury but it pains me to toss food that I paid money for! Whenever I’m cooking a meal I always try to be innovative in using every part of the ingredients I’m cooking with. It’s so important to try and be conscientious of how much your leaving as waste, and in an effort to combat that I thought I’d give you a couple of ways to use something we’ve all been guilty of tossing away: broccoli stems. It’s easy to forget that broccoli stems are just as (if not more) important than the florets. They’re packed full with calcium, iron, and Vitamin A so when you’re throwing these babies away you’re also missing out all of those awesome nutrients. Let’s fix that! I always feel so much better when I’m able to use up every part of what I’m cooking with and I bet you will too. Here are some of my all-time favorite things to do with broccoli stems or stalks: Spiralize broccoli stalks to make noodles:You guys know I love any excuse to use my spiralizer. That definitely includes whipping up a batch of broccoli stem noodles. I’ve found that broccoli stem noodles are thicker than the typical zucchini noodles that I’m used too, but I actually kind of prefer the texture they add to a dish. If you want to try it out for yourself, check out my broccoli noodle stir-fry which uses the broccoli stems and florets and has an added protein-boost from shrimp! Make broccoli rice:You’ve likely tried cauliflower rice before, but have you tried broccoli rice? It’s so yummy and easy to make! Just use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer of the stalks. Chop into even chunks, about 2 inches long. Place the chunk into a food processor and pulse a few seconds, just until the pieces are about the size of rice. Make hummus:Blend the stalks up into a thick and deliciousBroccoli Stem Hummus… perfect for dipping! Make vegetable broth:Before you throw away your broccoli stems think about adding them in with some other vegetables to make a homemade veggie broth. They’re also the perfect addition to broccoli soup! Instead of only using the broccoli florets chop up the broccoli stem and toss it in along with the rest of your ingredients. Add the chopped stems to anything for an added texture:I like adding broccoli stems to scrambled eggs, frittatas or casserole-type dishes. The stems can be tossed into just about anything and will automatically give whatever you’re cooking a heartier texture. Add them to soup or stew:Chopped broccoli stems are a great addition to soups and stews. Bonus veggies! Try using broccoli stems in place of cauliflower in my Mexican Sweet Potato Soup. Make a salad:My love for salads has me obsessed with how pretty and delicious this Simple Broccoli Stem Salad with Black Pepper Crumbs looks. Can’t wait to try it! Roast it:Roasting is by-far the best way to cook veggies, IMO and broccoli stems are tasty roasted too. I’ve been eyeing this Crispy Roasted Broccoli with Tahini Sauce that incorporates most of the stem into the dish! And if you want my easy go-to recipe, try this broccoli noodle stir-fry!
