Of course, you can always dice the broccoli stems and cook them with the florets when roasting broccoli. For some reason though, my family always thinks these pieces aren’t as good.
However, if I coarsely SHRED the stem and roast the shreds along with the florets, everyone is on board: Simply toss them in olive oil, season with salt and pepper (right along with the florets), and then roast in an even layer with the florets. Because they are thin, some of the pieces will crisp and the shreds end up adding a little something special and giving you more bang for your buck!
