I’m obsessed with this food trend where veggies get a total glow-up—grated, shaved, spiralized into things that feel starchy but totally aren’t. This is shaved broccoli. It looks like a grain, cooks like a dream, and gives you all the green goodness of broccoli with none of the side-dish energy.
I threw this one together in 20 minutes using pantry staples, and it was so good I made it again the next day. Fast, healthy, and bursting with flavor? That’s the dream.
Bonus Tip:
Grab a bag of pre-shaved broccoli slaw (the kind near the salad mixes)—it’s the perfect shortcut and tastes just as good. No food processor, no mess, just straight to the skillet.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup organic whole walnuts
8-10 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
½ large leek, chopped
2 cups mushroom, chopped coarse
1 teaspoon salt
16 ounce bag of shaved broccoli or one medium broccoli, shredded
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a small baking dish place olive oil, walnuts and peeled garlic. Use a brush to fully coat the walnuts and garlic and add salt to taste. Place in the oven for around 20 minutes or until the walnuts and garlic are golden in color.
Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the leek and chopped garlic and saute until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue stirring for 5 minutes. With a large spoon, remove any excess liquid. Add the shaved broccoli and stir quickly to cook until it’s soft but not too mushy in texture, about 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Serve in a bowl. Remove the walnut and garlic from the oven, let it cool for a moment and scatter over the broccoli. Serve immediately.

Can you please tell me how to shave broccoli? Do you use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler?? I want to try this recipe this weekend.

Sounds great except the mushrooms. I’m allergic.

I have never shaved brochillli. Do I cut off the flowers and shave the upper part of the stem?

I’m excited to try this. I needed a new way to do a green vegetable on my table for St. Patrick’s Day. Thank you!
