What do you do with garlic scapes? 🌱 One of our favorite ways to use them is this simple garlic scape pesto—fresh, flavorful, and a great way to enjoy this seasonal favorite.
Garlic scapes are in the farm stand now, but only for a short time!
✨ Garlic Scape Pesto
• 8–12 garlic scapes
• ¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds (or any nut or seed you like)
• Salt and pepper to taste (I also like a dash of cumin)
• Just under ½ cup olive oil, added slowly until you reach your desired consistency
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
• A handful of fresh herbs (basil, lemon balm, oregano, parsley, whatever you have on hand!)
Blend and enjoy on pasta, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, eggs, or as a dip.
