Gluten Free Ginger Garlic Scapes
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 carry a milder, sweeter garlic flavor than the bulb itself, and a quick blister in hot coconut oil transforms them into something seriously craveable. The grated ginger goes in right alongside them, blooming in the pan for just enough time to turn deeply fragrant before the coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar hit the skillet and reduce into a glossy, savory glaze. A pinch of turmeric adds a warm, earthy undertone and a gorgeous golden tint without overpowering the dish. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to swap anything out or double-check labels — it's just clean, bold cooking from start to finish. A squeeze of lemon at the end lifts the whole thing and makes it feel bright and fresh. Serve it as a side, pile it over rice, or eat it straight from the pan — no judgment.
