Print Recipe

A quick and easy side dish featuring roasted garlic scapes glazed with honey and balsamic vinegar, finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for a savory-sweet flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound garlic scapes, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse garlic scapes under cold water and pat dry. Trim off tough ends and cut into 3-inch pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey until blended. Add salt and black pepper, then toss the garlic scapes until evenly coated.
  4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the garlic scapes out in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan gently halfway through to ensure even browning. Scapes should be tender with some crispy edges and a deep golden color.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan over the scapes. Let the residual heat melt the cheese slightly.
  7. Let cool for a minute or two before serving.

Notes

Use fresh, firm garlic scapes for best results. Stir halfway through roasting to ensure even caramelization. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. For a dairy-free version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or toasted nuts. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
