Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of artichoke hearts (whole or halved, packed in water or brine, drained)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying (e.g., canola or sunflower oil)
Instructions
- Drain and pat the artichoke hearts dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy breading.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each artichoke heart in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the breaded artichoke hearts in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the fried artichoke hearts with tongs and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For a healthier option, try air frying at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. To keep them warm for serving, place them in a 200°F (93°C) oven.
