  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch to allow crisping.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
