Ingredients
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
2 large eggs, beaten
0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil spray or drizzle
Optional: 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Drain and pat dry the artichoke hearts thoroughly to remove all excess moisture.
2. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another, mix parmesan, panko, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
3. Dip each artichoke heart into the egg, then coat evenly in the parmesan-panko mixture.
4. Place the coated hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment or into an air fryer basket.
5. Spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil to help them crisp.
6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 18–22 minutes or air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes. Flip halfway through.
7. Cook until golden and crispy. Remove and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Patting the artichokes dry is essential—wet artichokes won’t crisp up.
Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and texture.
Don’t overcrowd your tray or air fryer basket—space allows them to get properly crispy.
