SAVE YOUR SCRAPS!🥕
One of the easiest things I’ve done by far
🧄1. Simply start by saving your scraps from dinners, bell pepper bits, carrot bits, onion you didn’t use etc.
🫑2. I always store mine in a bag and toss in the freezer. Every time I obtain more scraps I simply take my bag out, toss them in there and back into the freezer they go.
🌽3. When I am ready to use my scraps ( my 1 quart bag is full) I’ll throw my (about 8 -10 cups ) veggies in a pot and put water over them.
🍆4. I’ll let them come to a boil for 10-15 minutes then set to simmer and cover for about 3-6 hours. (The more veggies the more time I recommend simmering )
🥔5. Let cool and store in the fridge! It’ll stay good for 3-5 days.

Making veggie broth from scraps not only reduces food waste but also maximizes the health benefits of your kitchen leftovers. When you save bits of vegetables like carrots, onions, and bell peppers, you create a flavorful base for soups and stews. To enhance your broth, consider adding herbs and spices like garlic, bay leaves, or black peppercorns. As the broth simmers for 3-6 hours, essential nutrients infuse into the liquid, making it rich in vitamins and flavors. Broth made from vegetables can help boost your immune system and contribute to overall well-being. Additionally, using kitchen scraps promotes a more eco-friendly cooking approach, aligning with the principles of a healthy lifestyle and zero waste. Storing your scraps in the freezer means you can save them over time, making this process cost-effective and convenient. Once your bag is full, you're just moments away from creating a nourishing broth that can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for later use. This method of cooking is not just practical; it's a step towards more sustainable living that many are embracing in 2024. Happy cooking!
