Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking your artichokes to a crispy finish.
- Dry Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness during baking.
- Prepare Breading Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring until well blended and evenly distributed.
- Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, brush or toss each artichoke heart in extra virgin olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Then roll each piece thoroughly in the parmesan breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they have space around each piece to allow proper air circulation and even crisping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the artichokes turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Let the artichoke hearts cool slightly before serving them. Enjoy them plain or with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure artichoke hearts are well dried to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Can be served with marinara sauce, aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Panko breadcrumbs are preferred for their light, airy texture, providing a crispier coating than regular breadcrumbs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
