“Don't throw away the broccoli stems they are delicious as a little finger food! You can these eat them by themselves or dip them in something. We call them 'stars' because sometimes they look like when you cut them and the stem is jagged."
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cut the stems away from the broccoli and peel the outside of them stem (just like you would a carrot). Slice the stems into “coins” so they are about a nickel thick (you can use a 1.5mm blade on mandolin too).
