Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained
Breading Mixture
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Coating
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Finishing
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the artichoke hearts thoroughly and pat them dry to ensure the breading sticks well.
- Set Up Breading Stations: Prepare three separate bowls: one with the flour mixed with salt and pepper, a second one with the beaten eggs, and a third bowl combining the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
- Coat Artichokes: Take each artichoke heart and first dredge it in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with the parmesan-panko breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to ensure even baking. Lightly spray each piece with olive oil to help achieve a crispy texture.
- Bake: Bake the artichoke hearts in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the artichoke hearts to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure artichoke hearts are well dried after rinsing to prevent soggy coating.
- Using fresh parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated ensures better flavor and texture.
- You can serve these with a dipping sauce like marinara, aioli, or ranch for added taste.
- Flipping halfway through baking ensures even crispiness on all sides.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray olive oil on the artichoke hearts before baking.
