These crispy baked (or air-fried) artichoke hearts are coated in a garlic-Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, making them golden, crunchy, and bursting with flavor. They’re perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or salad topping—and they come together in just 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts (drained, patted dry, and halved if large)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs for a finer texture)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, adds depth and color)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Optional Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Artichokes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain and pat dry the artichoke hearts to remove excess moisture.
  3. Toss them with olive oil in a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Make the Parmesan Breadcrumb Coating

  1. In a separate bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Coat the artichokes in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks.

Step 3: Bake or Air Fry

Oven Method:

  1. Arrange the coated artichoke hearts in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Air Fryer Method:

  1. Place the artichokes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges.
  2. (Optional) Mix the ingredients for the dipping sauce and serve on the side.

Serving Suggestions

  • As an appetizer: Serve with marinara, garlic aioli, or honey mustard.
  • On a salad: Add crispy artichokes to a Caesar or Mediterranean salad.
  • With pasta: Toss with buttery lemon pasta for a crispy topping.

Notes

  • Want them cheesier? Add extra Parmesan before baking.
  • Gluten-free? Use gluten-free Panko or crushed almonds.
  • Extra crunch? Double-coat the artichokes by dipping them in whisked egg before rolling in breadcrumbs.
