Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
Breading
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Season Artichokes: In a large bowl, toss the drained and dried artichoke hearts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices for flavorful crispiness.
- Prepare Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese with the panko breadcrumbs to create a cheesy, crunchy coating mixture.
- Coat Artichokes: Roll each artichoke heart individually in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture until fully covered, ensuring every piece is well coated to maximize crisp texture during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the coated artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer to allow even cooking and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Allow the artichoke hearts to cool slightly before serving. Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the artichoke hearts dry thoroughly to ensure the coating sticks well and to achieve maximum crispiness.
- You can omit paprika for a milder flavor or add cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture and flavor.
- Serve warm for the best crunchy texture.
- This recipe works well as a party appetizer or a side dish.
