Instructions

Roast Hearts of Palm

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

Mix Vegan Dressing

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

Toast and Top Rolls

Next, brush the tops of your sandwich rolls with a little olive oil. Heat a skillet over medium-high and toast the rolls until they’re lightly golden, which should take about a minute. Finally, spoon the hearts of palm mixture onto each roll and enjoy!
