Ingredients

  • 3 broccoli stems peeled
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs panko or seasoned
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment.Peel the broccoli stems to completely remove the tough outer edge. Cut into “French fry” shapes and set aside.
  • Set up a breading station with two bowls. One with the flour mixed with the almond milk, and the second with the breadcrumbs.  
  • Working one piece of broccoli at a time, coat with the flour, almond milk mixture, and then the breadcrumbs. Place on the lined baking sheet, and repeat until all the broccoli is used up.  
  • Bake until the broccoli stem fries are crispy, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt to taste and serve with a dipping sauce of choice.
