Whole 30 Ginger Garlic Scapes
Garlic scapes are one of those farmers' market finds that deserve way more attention, and this quick skillet preparation is the perfect introduction. They come out blistered, tender-crisp, and coated in a glossy, savory glaze that hits every note you want from a side dish. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce here, delivering that deep umami flavor without any soy or added sugar — a common sticking point when you're trying to keep things compliant. Fresh ginger and turmeric add warmth and a subtle earthiness, while a splash of apple cider vinegar keeps everything bright and balanced. The whole thing comes together in one pan in under ten minutes, which makes it an easy weeknight win whether you're deep into a reset or just eating clean. A squeeze of lemon at the end lifts the glaze and makes the flavors pop in the best way.
