Scape Sprinkles

Blanch scapes in boiling water about 3 mins. and then shock in iced water to set the color. Dice fine, then scatter on salad or pizza, add to sautés briefly as a garnish, and so on.

Scapes for Soup

Chop scapes ½” long, saute in butter for 2-3 mins. until bright green, and add to simmering soup about 20 mins. before serving.

Roasted Garlic Scapes

Take the scapes and put them in a lightly oiled roasting pan, top with salt (kosher or sea salt works best but any will do). Put the loaded and covered pan in a hot (425 °F) oven for 30 to 45 mins. or until they are beginning to turn brown. Serve as a side or main dish. Tastes like roasted garlic but creamier.

Fried Scapes

Cut scapes to green bean size and saute them in butter and salt for 6 - 8  mins. During the last minute of cooking add about 1 tsp. of balsamic vinegar.
