Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups garlic scapes (about 15-20 scapes), gently rubbed under cold running water
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Cut garlic scapes in 2-inch long pieces.
  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic scapes and cook for 4-6 minutes, while stirring occasionally until lightly toasted but still slightly crunchy. For softer scapes, continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  5. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
