Instructions

Roll half strip of bacon over half heart of palm. Stick a toothpick all the way through to hold the bacon around the heart of palm. Place palm heart bacon bites onto a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes or until bacon is brown and crispy. Serve hot with pesto or chimichurri sauce on the side. Bacon bites can be accompanied by beer or guaraná soda.

Notes

Hearts of palm suitable substitutions: Fingerling or baby potatoes, baby carrots, bite-sized celery stalks, asparagus, and pineapple (although naturally their flavor and texture are not the same as the hearts of palm).2. Chimichurri sauce is the South American pesto made from parsley.
