Baked Broccoli Chips - broccoli

Method

• Im a big fan of broccoli chips because they are easy and delicious, but mostly because theyre a clever way to make use of the broccoli stem that so many of us toss in the trash.
• A while back, I got tired of wasting the stems and started slicing them up and tossing them into my stir fry recipes.
• Now, Ive discovered an even more enjoyable way to eat those veggies.
• Heck, kids might even like these too!
• Heres how you make them:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the broccoli stem into coins about a quarter inch thick and set aside.
• Make an eggwash by whisking together the egg and milk in a small bowl.
• In a separate, shallow bowl, mix the panko, salt, onion powder and cayenne.
• Dip the broccoli coins (one by one) into the eggwash and then into the panko until well-coated.
• Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the panko is toasted brown.
• The coins will be tender inside and crispy outside.
• These make a perfect snack or appetizer and can be dipped in a variety of dipping sauces (like spicy mayo!).
• Enjoy!
