Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for crispy artichoke hearts.
- Thoroughly drain artichoke hearts and gently blot away excess moisture using paper towels.
- Create two separate coating mixtures: one with melted butter and garlic powder, another combining grated Parmesan and breadcrumbs.
- Individually dip each artichoke heart first into the butter mixture, then completely coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb blend.
- Arrange the coated artichoke hearts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 18 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway to achieve uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove from the oven and let the artichoke hearts rest for 2-3 minutes to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Transfer the crispy Parmesan-coated artichoke hearts to a serving platter, allowing them to cool slightly before serving as a delectable appetizer or side dish.
Notes
- Pat artichoke hearts completely dry to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent soggy texture during baking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for richer flavor and better coating adhesion compared to pre-packaged versions.
- Try additional herbs like dried oregano or thyme in the breadcrumb mixture to enhance overall taste profile.
- For gluten-free option, substitute regular breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free panko crumbs to maintain crispy exterior.
