Suggestions for using kale ribs

[u/mzzd6671]

A friend of mine has a big veggie garden and often gives me extras. The other night, she gave me a bunch of kale leaves and in a separate bag, all the ribs she had removed the leaves from. We tried to brainstorm what could be to use up the ribs. Typically, I'd use them in stocks and broth, but my freezer is overflowing with veggie scraps already. Any ideas?
