Oats 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 enough bite, coated in a glossy, savory glaze that hits every note — garlicky, gingery, a little tangy, and warmly spiced from the turmeric. Coconut aminos bring that deep, umami-rich flavor without any soy, and a splash of apple cider vinegar keeps the whole thing bright and balanced. The optional squeeze of lemon at the end lifts everything and makes the colors pop on the plate. Every ingredient here is naturally free of grains and oats, so there's nothing to scrutinize or swap — just straightforward, bold cooking. It works beautifully as a side dish alongside grilled proteins or grain bowls, and the whole thing comes together in under ten minutes from start to finish.
