Cinnamon Free Cilantro-Lime Garlic Scape Chips
Garlic scapes are one of those farmers' market finds that most people walk right past, and that is a genuine shame. These curly, bright green shoots get tossed in coconut oil, fresh lime juice, zest, turmeric, and ginger before hitting a hot oven, where they roast into something tender with just enough crispy edge to earn the name "chips." The flavor is bold and a little funky in the best way — garlicky, citrusy, and earthy all at once. A shower of fresh cilantro goes on right at the end, so it stays vibrant and fragrant rather than wilting into nothing. For anyone navigating a cinnamon sensitivity, the spice lineup here is completely safe — warm depth comes from turmeric and ginger instead, with zero overlap. This is the kind of snack or side dish that disappears fast, so consider doubling the batch before you even start.
