Ingredients
- 1 pound garlic scapes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the garlic scapes under clean running water. Trim the brown ends, woody stalks, and dry tips. Save the trimmings in the freezer for chicken stock.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 425˚F. Clean the grates well.
- Place the garlic scapes in a large bowl. Drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and toss with your hands until the scapes are evenly coated with the oil.
- Toss the prepared garlic scapes on the hot grate and grill until they are well charred. Flip and grill the opposite side.
- Garlic scapes are finished cooking when they are crispy and slightly charred on the outside and tender on the inside, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the garlic scapes from the grill and pile on a plate, dust with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, and serve as a side dish to any meal.
