Roasted broccoli stalks — or coins — are a fantastic way to integrate broccoli stems and cut down meals waste. Just a couple simple elements make these super delicious!

I come to feel like it’s been AGES because we have talked! I had the meals blogging conference, spring break past 7 days and then you know, I’m just receiving down to business enterprise with my do-it-yourself child meals submit that arrived out before in the 7 days.

Granted, if you abide by me on Instagram or subscribe to my newsletter, you are receiving some of the powering the scenes. 😊

But let us do a speedy recap: Foods blogging conference in Charleston was all kinds of wonderful! Inspiring, uplifting and OH SO Good to bond with some fellow foodies more than all the nerdy ins and outs of this business enterprise. Oh, and produced all kinds of amazing buddies and had lots of good eats + drinks! 💕

Spring break was wonderful but also a minimal unhappy. It was unbelievably charming to have a 7 days off with the kiddos and to take a look at with my in-rules. But my husband’s grandfather — and my son’s namesake — fell ill and went into the healthcare facility. Absolutely everyone took off to go take a look at him for a evening whilst I stayed back again with the youngsters.

He’s still in the ICU and we’re hoping for the best, but it hasn’t been looking fantastic. We’ll just dangle in there and see what occurs. Ideas/good vibes/prayers appreciated. 💕

Even now, we managed to have lots of fun! Kiddos make a good distraction. 😉

But on to the food…

This month’s Recipe Redux challenged us to cut down meals waste and produce a recipe applying some thing that may typically be thrown away.

My do-it-yourself child meals pouches are fantastic for this sort of factor and so are my turmeric chicken bowls that count on some staples and can use up veggie scraps. (Kinda like how you can personalize my just one-pot vegetarian spaghetti.)

But I had to appear up with some thing new. The initial recipe I analyzed in this classification was a enormous success. It was cake, right after all. But it was also just one that I lied about – did not explain to any one at the social gathering what was truly in it.

So that kinda seemed like a undesirable recipe to site about. “Make this tasty cake – and then don’t explain to any one what’s in it!” 😂

(If you truly want to know, remark under and I’ll permit you in on what it was.)

And the whole time I was testing that recipe, I had these roasted broccoli stalks in my head.

The initial time I utilized broccoli stalks all by them selves was yrs in the past and I pickled them, applying a recipe from The New York Periods. And they were being weird but awesome.

It was one more just one the place I produced people take in it – so they appreciated it – ahead of I would explain to them what it was.

Apparently, you need to be nervous about coming more than and having my meals. 😂

But this recipe these days, these are just fun minimal roasted broccoli coins that get seasoned, baked and then dusted with a little bit of Parmesan cheese.

No lying, no sneakiness, no awkwardness needed. Trigger they’re just Superior!

On the other hand, I lamented the fact that they are a minimal significantly less than star excellent in the picture division. That weird cake would have been WAY much easier to make look good! Ah effectively, I wished to deliver them to you anyway!

• You’ll have to have to rinse your stalks, trim off the base ends and pull off any leaves.
• You also may possibly have to have to minimize off or shave off any undesirable spots or wild outshoots so these will minimize more evenly.
• I slice my minimal discs about 1/four-inch thick and they roast up superbly.
• Really don't toss away any of the higher stalks though! Just toss them with the seasonings and toss them on the sheet pan as well. You can just take them out before if you have to have to.
• Come to feel no cost to substitute nutritional yeast or just skip the cheese if you want to make these vegan.

So stop throwing away people broccoli stems! You can place them to good use and make these adorable and delicious minimal coins.

What are your best takes advantage of of meals scraps? Very best ideas for lessening meals waste? I’d adore to hear them in the remarks under! (And test out my fellow Redux associates under for all of their fantastic ideas)

XO,
