Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the artichoke hearts.
  2. Prepare Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
  3. Mix Coating: In a bowl, mix together the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart in the extra virgin olive oil, then roll them thoroughly in the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture until fully coated on all sides.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each piece to ensure even baking and crispiness.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the artichoke hearts turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the artichokes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Using fresh grated parmesan cheese yields better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated.
  • Ensure artichoke hearts are thoroughly dried to help the coating stick and crisp up properly.
  • For extra crispiness, you can flip the artichokes halfway through baking.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • Serve with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
