• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Drain the canned hearts of palm and pat them dry. Roughly chop them into small pieces.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and the top begins to turn golden brown.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables.
