Grilled Garlic Scapes - EASY and Delicious!
There are lots of ways that you can use up those garlic scapes from your garden, but grilling is the easiest and most delicious way to enjoy them. We look forward to them every year! They are such a treat.
Ingredients
- 1 lb garlic scapes
- 2 tbsp oil/fat of your choice I like tallow or EVOO
- sea salt and black pepper, or a seasoning blend to taste
Instructions
- Preheat grill to a medium flame
- Wash the scapes, if desired (I personally never wash produce coming out of my own garden).
- Trim off the pointy end of the scapes (they can be kind of chewy). Leave the rest of the scapes whole.
- Arrange the scapes on the hot grill, brush with the fat/oil of your choice until well-coated (I like melted tallow), and sprinkle on some seasonings.
- Turn the scapes once during cooking. You know they’re done when they are still soft on the inside, but slightly charred on the outside.
- Transfer to a platter for serving, or just eat them hot off the grill like we do!
Notes
*If you prefer to toss the scapes with fat/oil and seasonings in a bowl before putting them on the grill, that works well, too! It’s just a matter of personal preference.
**If you own a grill basket, that would help eliminate any scapes from escaping down the grates. It's on my wishlist!
