Equipment

  • Food processor a mini food processor works best
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup sea salt
  • 1 cup roughly chopped garlic scapes

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry your garlic scapes. Remove the bud with a sharp knife and roughly chop the stems..
  • Place your garlic scapes in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped.
  • Add the salt and process further until the salt and scapes form a thick paste.
  • Spread the paste on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the paste at 175°F for 30-45 minutes, stirring periodically.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Transfer the salt to a blender and blend until a fine powder forms.

Notes

  • I’ve found that a mini food processor works best for this. If you have one available, I recommend using that. 
  • The scapes must be completely dry. I usually skip washing them altogether, but if you do wash them, be sure to dry them thoroughly. 
  • Make sure your garlic scape salt is completely dry before storing it. If you live in a humid area, you may need to bake it longer to remove all of the moisture. Any moisture will lead to mold, so be careful to dry it well.
