Crispy Parmesan Artichoke Hearts are a deliciously crunchy appetizer featuring tender artichoke hearts coated in a flavorful mix of parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and herbs, then baked to golden perfection. Perfect for serving with marinara sauce or as a savory snack.

Ingredients

Artichoke Hearts

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

Coating Mixture

  • 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 perfect temperature for baking the artichoke hearts evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
  2. Prepare Artichokes: Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating adhere better and become crispier.
  3. Mix Coating: In a large bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  4. Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, dip each artichoke heart in the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring it is well-coated. Then roll it in the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, pressing gently to cover all sides thoroughly.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place each coated artichoke heart on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow hot air to circulate and promote even crisping.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the coating turns a golden brown and becomes crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the artichoke hearts to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with marinara sauce as a tasty dip.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, use fresh panko breadcrumbs rather than stale.
  • Customize the seasoning by adding chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve with a side of marinara or garlic aioli for dipping.
  • Make sure to dry the artichokes well to prevent sogginess.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
