INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the vegetables

Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine carrot, radish, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and toss to coat. Roast until vegetables are tender and browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

2
Make the dressing

Whisk together garlic, lemon juice, just half the Dijon, just 2 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl. Set aside dressing for step 5.

3
Form the "crab" cakes

Combine remaining Dijon, remaining mayo, chickpeas, hearts of palm, jalapeño, just 1 tsp bay seasoning, just ½ cup breadcrumbs, 2 tsp vegetable oil, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in food processor. Pulse until mixture is coarsely chopped and well combined, 5 to 8 pulses. Form "crab" cake mixture into 6 patties, each about 2 inches wide. Transfer remaining breadcrumbs to plate and gently press "crab" cakes into breadcrumbs, coating both sides. (TIP: Always wash your hands and cutting board thoroughly after working with spicy peppers, and consider wearing rubber gloves when working with them to avoid skin irritation.)

4
Cook the "crab" cakes

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add "crab" cakes and cook until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and season to taste with salt. (TIP: Add more oil as needed to crisp "crab" cakes.)

5
Serve

Divide arugula and dill between bowls. Top fresh herb salad with roasted vegetables and crispy "crab" cakes. Serve with creamy lemon-Dijon dressing and lemon wedges. Tuck in!
