Ingredients

Scale

Artichokes

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed

Coating Mix

  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for a crispy bake.
  2. Prepare Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating stick better and become crisp.
  3. Mix Coating: In a bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful breading mixture.
  4. Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, gently coat each artichoke heart in olive oil to help the breadcrumb mixture adhere, then roll each piece in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture until fully covered.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure there is space between each piece to allow even crisping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. These crispy parmesan artichoke hearts are delicious with marinara sauce or enjoyed plain as a savory snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can switch the olive oil to melted butter or a mix of both.
  • If you prefer gluten-free, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
  • To add a spicy kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper into the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Make sure to dry the artichokes well before coating to prevent sogginess.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to retain their crispiness.
