Ingredients

Scale

Artichokes

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed

Breading Mixture

  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Others

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimum temperature for baking crispy artichokes.
  2. Dry Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve the crispy coating.
  3. Prepare Breading: In a mixing bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  4. Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart in the extra virgin olive oil, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully and evenly coated on all sides.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow even cooking and crisping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, watching for a golden brown and crispy exterior.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the artichokes cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with marinara sauce or can be enjoyed plain as a crunchy snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, flip the artichoke hearts halfway through baking.
  • You can substitute dried oregano with Italian seasoning if desired.
  • Serve with marinara, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
  • Using fresh artichoke hearts instead of canned will require cooking them first before breading.
  • Make sure to thoroughly dry the artichokes to prevent sogginess.
