Ingredients
1 can or jar artichoke hearts (drained and dried)
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Drain and pat dry the artichoke hearts thoroughly to remove all excess moisture.
3. In a bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Drizzle in the olive oil or melted butter and stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
5. Toss artichoke hearts gently in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure coating sticks.
6. Arrange them cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Make sure to pat the artichoke hearts very dry before coating to maximize crispiness.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results—pre-grated often contains anti-caking agents.
Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to bring back their signature crunch.
