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.
