Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 1 can (14 ounces) quartered artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
Breading Mixture
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Other
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Breading Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute all the seasonings.
- Bread the Artichoke Hearts: Dip each artichoke heart into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly so the coating sticks well.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tops or spray them with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Flip the artichoke hearts halfway through baking to ensure they brown evenly. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli for added flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, try air frying the artichoke hearts at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes.
- These artichokes make a fantastic appetizer and pair well with marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli dipping sauces.
- Use marinated artichoke hearts for added flavor, but make sure to pat them dry thoroughly before breading to achieve the best crisp.
