Deep Fried Hearts of Palm Recipe

What are Hearts of Palm?


Fried to perfection?


A vegetable, not given enough credit in my book!
Have deep fried Artichoke Hearts for years the same way, but these are easier and taste quite similar......

Sizzling in the pan getting all browned and crispy.

A tender white part of a palm stalk.....




Deep Fried Hearts of Palm Recipe:
1- 14 oz can of Hearts of Palm drained and brine washed off
canola oil for frying
1 egg with 2 tablespoons water well beaten
2 cups Italian Flavored Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, cayenne pepper, pepper, oregano, parsley and Parmesan cheese
In a medium-sized bowl beat egg and water together, add hearts of palm to bowl.
In another bowl add bread crumbs and spices mix together well.
Dip each hearts of palm in the seasoned panko, then back into the egg and into the panko again, coating twice.
In a large fry pan heat 1/2 inch of oil in the pan till hot. Add hearts of palm and fry till golden in color. Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
