Can You Do Anything with Broccoli Stalks

Broccoli stalks are as nutritious as the broccoli florets. Broccoli stalks are low in calories and high in fibre. You can put broccoli stalks in soups, salads or stir-fry them.

Can you use broccoli stalks in vegetable?

We sliced the stalks into thin discs and tossed them in the pan with leeks and potatoes, then dotted the frittata with goat cheese before putting it in the oven. Use them for vegetable stock. Emily’s tip on saving scraps for stock is a great one. You can throw all kinds of misfit vegetable pieces in that pot.

Are broccoli stems good for stock?

Use the tough outer layer of the stalk for broth. Every time I make broccoli, I add the tough parts of the stalk to this container along with other veggie bits like the ends of carrots, kale stalks, cauliflower stalks, etc. When the container is full I use it to make a big batch of broth and use the vegetable scraps.
