Nutmeg Free Cilantro-Lime Garlic Scape Chips
Garlic scapes are one of those farmers' market finds that most people walk past without a second glance, but roasting them transforms these curly green stems into something genuinely addictive. Tossed in coconut oil with bright lime juice, zest, turmeric, and ginger, they caramelize at the edges and develop a savory, slightly crispy bite that's hard to stop eating. The spice blend here is warm and aromatic without leaning on any of the usual suspects that can sneak into seasoned snack foods — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Fresh cilantro scattered over the hot chips right out of the oven adds a pop of herby freshness that ties the whole thing together beautifully. These work just as well as a snack on their own as they do alongside grilled proteins or tucked into a grain bowl for extra texture. If you've never cooked with garlic scapes before, this is a low-stakes, high-reward way to start.
