Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 14 ounces quartered artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
Breading Mixture
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon homemade Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup herb lemon aioli sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly coating it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Artichokes: In a bowl, toss the drained and dried quartered artichoke hearts with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Make Breading Mixture: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Coat Artichokes: Dip each oiled artichoke heart first into the lightly beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge through the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch to allow crisping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the artichoke hearts halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden and crispy texture.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the crispy parmesan artichoke hearts hot, accompanied by 1/2 cup of herb lemon aioli sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the artichoke hearts are well dried before coating.
- Flip the artichokes halfway during baking to ensure both sides crisp evenly.
- You can make the herb lemon aioli ahead of time or substitute with your favorite dipping sauce.
- Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve larger groups.
