Grilled Garlic Scapes

First of all, you need to harvest the garlic scapes when they are young, tender and mild.  When we chatted about how to sow and grow garlic, I reviewed why it was important to remove the scapes.  In case you didn’t know they are milder than garlic cloves and have a texture like asparagus.

Ingredients:

Garlic Scapes

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Grilling Steps:

1) After you harvest the you harvest the young and tender garlic scapes, give them a rinse.  You can eat the bud and the stem.

2) Massage the scapes with olive oil.

3) Char the garlic scapes for about 4 to 5 minutes per side on a veggie tray on the grill with medium heat.  So simple but so good!

4) Top with salt and pepper or be creative with your favorite spice or herb.
