While summer may be behind us, tacos a delicious any time of year. I love all sorts of taco varieties and I’m in love with my light and tasty vegan artichoke “fish” tacos recipe! I think you will be too!
Artichoke “Fish”
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs (gluten free if desired)
- 1 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (15 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- 3 cups high heat oil for frying
Heat oil in a small skillet to about 350°F.
Combine old bay seasoning, salt, pepper and breadcrumbs in a small bowl, mixing well.
Dip artichoke pieces in melted butter, coating well, then dip in breadcrumb mixture, making sure all sides are covered.
Fry breaded artichokes for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove artichokes from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
