Plant-Based "Lobster" Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
• 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise (such as Vegenaise®)
• 1 stalk celery, minced
• ½ shallot, minced
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 teaspoons capers
• ½ teaspoon dried dill weed
• ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 sandwich rolls, split
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

Step 1

Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the hearts of palm dry, then toss them with some avocado oil, seafood seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until they’re nice and tender.

Step 2

While those are roasting, mix together the vegan mayo, chopped celery, finely diced shallot, lemon zest, juice from a quarter of a lemon, capers, dill, sesame seeds, and a bit of salt in a big bowl. Once the hearts of palm are done, add them to the bowl and gently toss everything together so the flavors meld.

Step 3

Brush the tops of your sandwich rolls with olive oil. Toast them in a skillet over medium-high heat for about a minute until they’re golden and slightly crispy. Finally, spoon the hearts of palm mixture onto each roll and enjoy!
