Vegetarian Cilantro-Lime Garlic Scape Chips
Garlic scapes are one of those fleeting farmers' market finds that deserve way more attention than they get, and this roasted snack is the perfect introduction. Tossed in coconut oil with bright lime juice, zest, and a warm hit of turmeric and ginger, they transform in the oven into something tender on the inside with just enough caramelized crispness at the edges. The finishing move — scattering fresh cilantro over the hot scapes straight out of the oven — is simple but makes the whole thing smell incredible. Every ingredient here is plant-based and straightforward, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden animal products sneaking in. These work beautifully as a snack, a side dish, or even piled on top of rice or grain bowls for a punchy, herby bite. If you've never cooked with garlic scapes before, this is the recipe that will make you seek them out every single season.
