Chestnut Free Cilantro-Lime Garlic Scape Chips
Garlic scapes are one of those farmers' market finds that most people walk right past, and that is genuinely a shame. These curly, bright green shoots carry a mellow, garlicky punch that transforms beautifully in a hot oven — roasting until the edges go golden and just a little crispy. Coconut oil, fresh lime juice, zest, turmeric, and ginger coat every piece before they hit the pan, building a flavor profile that is tangy, warm, and a little exotic all at once. The cilantro goes on right at the end, tossed over the hot scapes so it wilts just slightly and perfumes the whole dish. There are no tree nuts, no nut-based oils, and no sneaky additives to second-guess — just clean, whole ingredients doing exactly what they should. This is the kind of snack or side dish that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
