Are you composting your carrot tops? Tossing those potato skins? Landfilling lemon peels??
Hold your horseradish! Before discarding food scraps, try giving them a new life. We habitually throw out broccoli stalks, onion skins, and all kinds of “unwanted” produce biproducts, but these ingredients can be used to make delicious recipes all their own! Check out the resources below to become inspired by your scraps and reduce your food waste:
- In PlantYou’s Scrappy Cooking section, chef Carleigh publishes recipes to turn your would-be food scraps into delicious snacks and ingredients. Follow PlantYou on Instagram as well for even more content, recipes, and “scrappy cooking” ideas!
- Jenné Claiborne’s blog & cookbook Sweet Potato Soul is another amazing hub for plant-based cooking. But she also has some great tips for repurposing your food scraps in this Food Scrap Recipes video!
