Roasted Garlic Scapes
How to roast garlic scapes in the oven for a delicious, easy summer side dish.
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 bunch garlic scapes bunches are usually between 8-12
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the scapes into 2-3 pieces. I cut off any tips that I consider to be too thin. They will just burn before the rest of the scape is done. I use the tips in other dishes just like one would use chopped garlic.
- Arrange the scapes on a sheet pan lined with a parchment paper.
- Drizzle some olive oil over the scapes, before adding some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Slide the pan in the oven and roast them until they are tender and just starting to caramelize about 15 minutes. Flip half way through cooking.
Notes
Choose garlic scapes that have the smallest possible unopened flower - those are going to be the most tender.
