Ingredients

Scale

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 artichokes.
  2. Dry Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispy coating.
  3. Mix Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, creating the flavorful breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart evenly with olive oil, then roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered on all sides.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the coated artichokes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out to allow proper crisping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the artichokes turn golden brown and the coating becomes crispy.
  7. Serve: Allow the Parmesan Artichokes to cool slightly before serving. They are delightful with marinara sauce or delicious when eaten plain.

Notes

  • Ensure artichokes are well dried before coating to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Panko breadcrumbs provide a lighter, crispier crust compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Can be served as an appetizer, snack, or side dish with dipping sauces like marinara.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
