Various ways to garnish tapas written up in here (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paths

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'various ways' is the definition.
'paths' can be an answer for 'ways' ('path' can be a synonym of 'way'). I am not sure about the 'various' bit.

'garnish tapas written up in here' is the wordplay.
'PATHS' is hidden back-to-front in amongst the letters.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paths that I've seen before include "Tracks, ways" , "Trails" , "Tracks, routes" , "Ways, routes" .)
