Sautéed Garlic Scapes with Smoked Sea Salt and Lime
This unique springtime vegetable is the perfect side dish for garlic lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch garlic scapes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil roughly
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- juice from 1/2 a lime
- few dashes of coconut aminos optional
Instructions
- Wash the garlic scapes and dry thoroughly.
- Trim the scapes and cut into pieces of desired size, discarding the tough ends.
- Put a large pan over medium heat. While the pan warms up, mix together smoked paprika and sea salt (start with 1/2 teaspoon of each and add more as needed).
- Add the garlic scapes to a large bowl and toss with olive oil and the salt mixture until evenly coated.
- Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned scapes and cook for about 15-20 minutes (this will depend how big your pieces are), stirring occasionally until softened and charred. If using, add the coconut aminos halfway through the cooking process.
- When the garlic scapes are tender, remove from the heat and sprinkle with more sea salt and smoked paprika, along with the juice from half a lime before serving.
