Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
Breading 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the artichoke hearts.
- Dry Artichokes: Pat the drained and rinsed artichoke hearts dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Prepare Breading: In a mixing bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly blended.
- Coat Artichokes: Using tongs, coat each artichoke heart in extra virgin olive oil, then roll them thoroughly in the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture so they are fully covered.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated artichoke hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow even crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the artichoke hearts are golden brown and the coating is crispy.
- Serve: Allow the baked artichokes to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious paired with marinara sauce or enjoyed plain as a crispy snack.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the artichoke hearts thoroughly to ensure the breading sticks well and crisps up during baking.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide a light and crispy texture; regular breadcrumbs can be used but might result in a denser coating.
- Adjust seasonings such as garlic powder and oregano to taste for a more customized flavor.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or aioli for an extra flavor boost.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
