How to Reduce Food Waste: Broccoli Rice (Recipe)

As someone who’s passionate about mitigating the negative effects of climate change, reducing food waste is important to me. Broccoli rice is a simple and delicious way I reduce food waste in my own kitchen. (Pro tip: you can also apply these instructions to do the same thing with leftover cauliflower stalks)!

Instructions

Making broccoli rice is incredibly easy. All you have to do is:

  1. Pulse your leftover broccoli stalks in a food processor or blender until they resemble rice.
  2. Lastly, sauté with your favorite seasonings. The result is a tasty and nutritious side dish, not only good for you but also good for the environment!
