Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking crispy artichokes.
- Prepare artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crispiness.
- Mix coating: In a bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Coat artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart in olive oil, then roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until they are fully coated for a crispy crust.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart to allow even baking and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the artichokes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and serve: Let the artichokes cool slightly before serving; enjoy them with marinara sauce or on their own as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the artichoke hearts completely to get a crispier coating.
- You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to make it gluten-free.
- For a bit more flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the breadcrumb mixture if desired.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for the best taste and texture.
- Serve with marinara sauce, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
