Ingredients

3 cups garlic scapes

Instructions

Wash and dry well.
3 cups garlic scapes
Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Remove the bud end. You will see where it starts to change color. Chop just below that. Chop each scape into 2-3 inch pieces.
Add pieces to food processor.
Pulse until garlic is fairly fine but not enough to turn it into a paste.
Lay processed scapes on parchment lined dehydrator trays in a single layer. Place the trays in the dehydrator.
Set heat to 85-90°F / 30°C, if your dehydrator has a temperature control.
Dry for 5-7 hours until they are dry enough to snap between you fingers. The most important thing is get all of the moisture out so that they don’t mold.
