Veggie Scrap Crackers Recipes

HOW TO MAKE VEGGIE STOCK WITH KITCHEN SCRAPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Remove the tops/bottoms/skins/stems from any vegetables you are preparing (avoid vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or cauliflower as they will add a bitter taste to your stock) and place them in a ziplock bag - they can stay frozen up to 6 months.
• Note: You can add many other vegetable scraps (think sweet!) - i.e. corn cobs, winter squash, zucchini, and other squash, beet greens, fennel, chard, lettuce, parsnips, green beans, pea pods, bell peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, asparagus, and herbs like dill, thyme, parsley, cilantro, and basil.
• Continue like this until bag is full.
• Dump bag into pot and fill ¾ of the pot (or until scraps just start to float) with water.
• Bring water to a boil and then let it simmer for at least 30 minutes.
• Strain water out of stock.
• Refrigerate stock up to 4 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
• Enjoy!

MAKE YOUR OWN VEGETABLE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Combine 4 1/2 cups flour, soup mix, and soda in a large mixing bowl; add butter and egg, beating at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended.
• Add buttermilk, beating well.
• Stir in enough remaining 1 cup flour to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 or 5 times.
• Divide dough into fourths; roll each portion into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle (about 1/16 inch thick). Cut into 2-inch squares, using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Prick with a fork and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake at 400° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
