Ingredients
Scale
Artichokes
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
Coating Mixture
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the artichoke hearts until crispy.
- Prepare Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness.
- Make Coating Mixture: In a bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart evenly in extra virgin olive oil, then roll them in the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture until fully coated on all sides.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each to ensure they crisp evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure artichoke hearts are dried well to maximize crispiness.
- You can substitute dried oregano with Italian seasoning for more herb variety.
- For a dairy-free version, try using a vegan parmesan alternative and check the breadcrumb ingredients.
- Serve these crispy artichokes warm for the best texture and flavor.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
