Ingredients

Scale

For the Artichokes

  • 4 cups canned or frozen artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Coating: In a medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all flavors.
  3. Coat Artichokes: Toss the artichoke hearts with olive oil to coat them lightly, then individually dredge each piece in the Parmesan-panko mixture, making sure each artichoke is well covered for maximum crispiness.
  4. Bake: Arrange the coated artichoke hearts evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping the artichokes halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden and crispy texture.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or side dish to complement your meal.

Notes

  • Ensure artichoke hearts are thoroughly dried before coating to help the coating stick better and become crispier.
  • Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor; pre-grated can be used in a pinch.
  • For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper into the coating mix.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by substituting panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
