Gf Vegan Hearts of Palm Mozzarella Sticks
Ingredients
- 2 14 oz cans hearts of palm, drained and patted dry
- Marinara sauce and/or vegan ranch for serving
Bowl #1
- 2 TBSP chickpea flour
Bowl #2
- 1/4 C chickpea flour
- 1/3 C water
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1 TBSP miso paste
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Bowl #3
- 1 C GF breadcrumbs (such as cauliflower breadcrumbs)
- 2 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the hearts of palm lengthwise if needed, aiming for a thickness of about 3/4".
In the order listed, prepare three bowls: Bowl #1 with chickpea flour, Bowl #2 with chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, miso paste, salt, and garlic powder, and Bowl #3 with GF breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, and Italian seasoning.
Take one piece of hearts of palm at a time and roll it first in the flour (Bowl #1), then in the batter (Bowl #2), and finally, place it in the bowl of breadcrumbs (Bowl #3), shaking the bowl to coat the stick evenly.
Place each coated stick on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, lightly spray them with olive oil for extra crispiness. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Serve the mozzarella sticks hot, garnished with fresh parsley. They can be enjoyed with spicy marinara sauce and vegan ranch for dipping.
