To every simple toric ideal $$I_T$$
I
T
one can associate the strongly robust simplicial complex $$\Delta _T$$
Δ
T
, which determines the strongly robust property for all ideals that have $$I_T$$
I
T
as their bouquet ideal. We show that for the simple toric ideals of monomial curves in $$\mathbb {A}^{s}$$
A
s
, the strongly robust simplicial complex $$\Delta _T$$
Δ
T
is either $$\{\emptyset \}$$
{
∅
}
or contains exactly one 0-dimensional face. In the case of monomial curves in $$\mathbb {A}^{3}$$
A
3
, the strongly robust simplicial complex $$\Delta _T$$
Δ
T
contains one 0-dimensional face if and only if the toric ideal $$I_T$$
I
T
is a complete intersection ideal with exactly two Betti degrees. Finally, we provide a construction to produce infinitely many strongly robust ideals with bouquet ideal the ideal of a monomial curve and show that they are all produced this way.
