Hazelnut 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 get tossed in coconut oil, fresh lime juice, zest, turmeric, and ginger before hitting a hot oven, where they roast into something tender with lightly crisped, caramelized edges. A shower of fresh cilantro goes on right at the end so it wilts just enough to cling to every piece without losing its brightness. The flavor is bold, a little citrusy, faintly warm from the spices, and completely addictive in the best way. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, snack foods and flavored chips can be a minefield of shared facilities and surprise ingredients — this one is made entirely from whole, straightforward pantry staples with nothing hidden. It works beautifully as a side dish, a snack straight off the pan, or even scattered over a grain bowl for some extra texture and punch.
