Caffeine Free Ginger Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes are one of those farmers' market finds that deserve way more attention than they get, and this quick skillet preparation is a perfect introduction. They come out blistered and tender with just a little bite left, coated in a glossy, savory glaze that hits every note you want from a vegetable side dish. Coconut aminos bring that deep, umami-rich flavor without any soy, and a splash of apple cider vinegar keeps things bright and balanced. The fresh ginger gets bloomed right in the pan, which makes the whole kitchen smell incredible and gives the dish a warm, aromatic backbone. A pinch of turmeric adds subtle earthiness and a gorgeous golden hue to the glaze. Whether you serve this alongside grilled protein or pile it over a bowl of rice, it disappears fast — and the whole thing comes together in one skillet with barely any cleanup.
