I've always thrown away the stalk and used only the tops but NO MORE!!

Broccoli, garlic powder, olive oil, kosher salt


You may want to peel (potato peeler) the stalk if it is tough. Slice stalk in 1/8 inch rounds. Fry in olive oil until brown and almost krispy, add the rest of the broccoli, 1/8 tsp garlic powder, salt. I cook mine for about 20 minutes. You want the broccoli to get brown in places. Enjoy! Makes a great snack.
