Garlic scapes are the tender stem and flower bud of a hardneck garlic plant. Garlic scapes have a greener taste than garlic bulbs; they have a unique flavor profile, blending onion, scallion, and garlic. The texture is close to that of asparagus, making it ideal for grilling. Grilled Garlic Scapes can be enjoyed as a side dish, an ingredient (they are great in an omelet) or as a topping for pizza, burgers, and so much more.
