Hi! I have this same issue recently. Although best with the inner good parts, if you do a light sear with a little oil you’ll get a semi crunchy leaf. It’s annoying because you have to watch it like a hawk and 15 seconds is the difference between delicious / burnt. ANYWAYS, did that and essentially made a really basic ‘salad’ (IDK if you can call it that) with pancetta (bacon works too), some grated cheese (Parmesan works best), and a little balsamic vinaigrette and I consumed it at an alarming rate. 10/10. Does require some additional ingredients though lol.
Attentively: I save them and toss them into soups. I’ve sliced them THIN into a ramen bowl, and I’ve made chicken soup with them too. Hope this helps!
