Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can or jar artichoke hearts, drained and well-dried
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.
- Ensure your artichoke hearts are thoroughly drained and patted completely dry with paper towels. This step is vital for achieving a crispy coating.
- Set up a dredging station: In one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning.
- Dip each dried artichoke heart into the whisked eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Transfer the egg-coated artichoke heart to the breadcrumb mixture. Roll it around and press gently to adhere the coating evenly. Place the coated artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Lightly spray or drizzle the coated artichoke hearts with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. If using an air fryer, cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Serve your crispy parmesan artichoke hearts immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them as is.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Marinated artichoke hearts can be used, but drain them very well and be aware they may have a tangier flavor.
- These crispy parmesan artichoke hearts are delicious served warm or at room temperature.
- Consider serving with a garlic aioli or marinara sauce for dipping.
