Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 oz Canned Artichoke Hearts (well drained)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ cup Bread Crumbs
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (grated)

Method
 

  1. Preheat: Set your air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Prep: Drain the canned artichokes and rinse them carefully. Cut each heart into quarters.
  3. Dry: Use a paper towel to pat the artichoke quarters dry. This is the secret to getting them truly crispy!
  4. Coat: In a large bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Mix gently—you want them coated, but you don't want to break the delicate hearts apart.
  5. Arrange: Place the coated hearts into the air fryer basket, ensuring the cut side is facing up.
  6. Air Fry: Cook for 10–13 minutes. You’ll know they are done when the edges are browned and the breading is crunchy.
  7. Serve: Remove carefully and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Pro-Tips & Variations
  • Storage: These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days.
  • Reheating: Avoid the microwave! Pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F to bring back the crunch.
  • Mix up the Flavors: Swap Italian seasoning for Lemon Pepper or Cajun spice for a completely different vibe.
  • Dietary Tweaks: Use Panko for extra crunch, or substitute breadcrumbs with crumbled pork rinds for a low-carb/Keto option.
