Lactose 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 the perfect introduction. They come out blistered and bright green, coated in a glossy, savory glaze built from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and a touch of turmeric — bold flavors that feel restaurant-worthy with minimal effort. Every ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, so there's no swapping or substituting required; it just works as written. The coconut oil gives the scapes a beautiful sear, while the apple cider vinegar and optional lemon juice add a bright lift that keeps the dish from feeling heavy. Turmeric brings a warm, earthy undertone that ties everything together and gives the glaze a gorgeous golden hue. This is the kind of side dish that disappears fast — serve it alongside grilled proteins, spoon it over rice, or eat it straight from the pan while no one's looking.
