Vegan Crab Cakes
These Vegan Crab Cakes are made with hearts of palm and artichokes. Savory and delicious, these cakes make a great entree, appetizer, or filling for a sandwich!
I used to love getting crab cakes before going vegan but had not found a suitable replacement, that is until trying Robin Robertson’s Heart of Palm and Artichoke Cakes from her new book Veganize It.
These Vegan Crab Cakes are perfect on their own as an entree but I could see myself using them in a few different ways: appetizers, sandwiches (like po’ boys), or salads. They would be yummy in anything they’re added to!
