Garlic Scape Pumpkin Seed Pesto
Founder / Chef / Everyone’s Best Friend
Andy Hay
Welcome to my kitchen. I hope to inspire you to grow as a home cook!
It’s garlic scape season and I just love this ingredient. Garlicky, spicy, and very abundant during this small window of the year. Garlic scapes are the green, curly shoots that grow from hardneck garlic plants, where flowers might otherwise sprout. Farmers cut away these scapes regardless, so that all energy is diverted to the garlic bulb growing underground. Scapes make for delicious eating on their own though, so don’t waste them!
This Garlic Scape pesto is a super easy sauce to keep in your fridge. It’s perfect to toss in salads, pastas, sandwiches, or even drizzle over roasted veggies. I love having pesto in my fridge as it’s a secret flavour weapon that allows you to quickly amp up any meal you are having.

Andy is the founder of ECK, Chef, and let’s admit it… the reason you’re here. He taught himself to cook, and it all paid off when he secured his spot in the season 5 Finale of Master Chef Canada. Now, Andy uses his big energy to showcase recipes that actually make people want to cook. His brand was built on butter and East Coast charm, and Andy’s kept that same energy ever since. Off-camera, you’ll find him doing what started it all: cooking for his two daughters, wife and the people he loves.
