Toasted yummy side dish with almonds
If you look at the picture above, you are probably thinking what is that weird shaped long shape rectangular piece. That is the stem. I know, usually you just cut that part off and throw it away. The stem had a hard outer skin, but if you cut that part off, the middle is juicy and flavorful!
You definitely don’t have to brown it as long as I do. I like mine VERY toasty. Just watch it closely, it turns very quickly.
There are so many health benefits to adding garlic to our diets. Garlic is known to boost your immune system, reduces blood pressure, full of antioxidants, helps in detoxification, helps keep bones strong and the list goes on and on….
