Low Histamine Garlic Scallion Maple Glaze
This glossy, sweet-savory glaze comes together in under ten minutes and delivers serious flavor with a surprisingly short ingredient list. Pure maple syrup and coconut aminos form the backbone — naturally sweet and deeply savory without relying on soy sauce or fermented condiments that tend to be problematic for sensitive systems. The green tops of scallions keep things mild and bright, while a quick arrowroot slurry pulls the whole thing into a silky, spoonable consistency that clings beautifully to whatever you're glazing. Managing a low-histamine kitchen often means sacrificing depth of flavor, but the garlic-forward base here does a lot of heavy lifting in just a minute or two of cooking. A small splash of apple cider vinegar adds just enough brightness to balance the sweetness without tipping into anything harsh. Serve it straight from the pan as a brush-on glaze or a dipping sauce — it's genuinely versatile enough to work on roasted vegetables, grilled proteins, or even a simple grain bowl. This recipe makes enough for four servings, so it's easy to scale up when you need it.

Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it shimmers. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely, as garlic can brown quickly at this stage.
