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.

Here’s the broccoli stem chip recipe:
