A TikToker has found a quick and simple way to turn your leftover veg into a tasty snack. The average price of a loose broccoli these days is around 70p, but the majority of people throw a good chunk of it away in the form of the stalk.
Now, with food prices constantly on the up due to the cost of living crisis, many are looking for ways to make their food shop go further - and that's exactly what this recipe does.
'Airfryergirluk' came up with genius idea to turn unwanted broccoli stems into delicious fries using your air fryer. They're low fat and cost just pennies to make.
The 36 second clip shows how you can make the healthy snack using just an air fryer and seasoning.
So far it has been viewed over 650K times, and starts by telling watchers not to throw their stocks away and to fry them instead. In the video the chef cuts of the head of the broccoli before slicing and peeling the stem.
After that, the stocks are sliced into fries and placed into a bowl where they are seasoned with garlic granules, oil, salt and pepper. They are then placed in the air fryer at 200c for 15 minutes before being served and eaten with a dip.
The TikTok was was inspired by a recipe from renowned food influencer Yumna Jawad. Jawad is the woman behind popular blog feelgoodfoodie which specialises in providing people with simple and healthy recipes.
Airfryergirluk's post has just over 20K likes with many going to the comments to profess their love for broccoli stalks. One person in the comments said: "The stalks are nice raw too."
Another who leaves them as a treat for their pet pooch said: "My dogs would be mortified, the broc stalks are a favourite treat in our house!".
While another person who doesn't have a air fryer hilariously added: "I am seriously starting to think I’m the only person on the universe who doesn’t own an airfryer."
