Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 1 can (14 oz) quartered artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
Breading Mixture
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Prepare the breading mix: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Coat the artichokes: Dip each quartered artichoke heart into the beaten egg to moisten it thoroughly. Then, press it into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated and the mixture adheres well.
- Arrange and spray: Place the coated artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help achieve a golden crispy finish during baking.
- Bake: Bake the artichoke hearts for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure they crisp evenly on both sides. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These are delicious accompanied by marinara sauce or aioli for dipping.
Notes
- You can use frozen artichoke hearts if preferred—just thaw and pat them dry before use.
- For extra crispiness, broil the artichokes for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- These baked artichoke hearts make a versatile snack, appetizer, or even a flavorful salad topper.
