About

These simple charred scallions are tossed with olive oil and lime juice before being grilled until tender and golden, then sprinkled with a little dried chili for a kick of heat!

These are perfect served alongside keto taco bowls or grilled chicken, salsa and sour cream.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium – 4 1/8" long scallions or spring onions, tops and bulb, raw
  • 2 teaspoon lime juice, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice off the very base of the scallion roots and discard. Trim the leaves and remove any stringy outer leaves.
  2. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat.
  3. Drizzle the scallions with the olive oil and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Rub the oil and seasonings into the scallions.
  4. Arrange the scallions across the hot griddle pan and cook until tender and charred on both sides – about 4 minutes.
  5. Toss with the dried chili flakes to serve.
