Swiss Chard Stem Fries



When we cook swiss chard, we usually use the leaves and top part of the stems which are tender. However, the bottom part of the stem which is quite thick can be used like this.

Ingredients:

  • Swiss Chard Stems - from 1 bunch
  • Grated cheese - as much as you want
  • Salt- to taste
  • Black Pepper Powder - to taste
  • Garlic Powder - to taste
  • Red Chili Flakes - to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Directions:

  • Discard half an inch of the bottom part of the stems and slit them lengthwise.
  • Par boil them in water for about 6-7 minutes.
  • Greese the baking tray with olive oil spray.
  • Lay the stems on the tray evenly.
  • Drizzle some more olive oil.
  • Sprinkle cheese, salt, pepper, chili flakes, garlic powder or any other seasoning you like.
  • Bake it for 20 minutes on 400°F.

Enjoy !!
