A quick and easy savory snack featuring crispy, cheesy coated artichoke hearts that are perfect for snack time or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
  • ½ cup (50 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup (75 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1–2 cups olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Drain the artichoke hearts well and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper; one with beaten eggs; and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
  3. Coat each artichoke heart by first tossing in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then dipping into the beaten eggs, and finally pressing into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until fully coated.
  4. Heat 1-2 cups of oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  5. Carefully fry the coated artichoke hearts in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently with tongs or a slotted spoon.
  6. Remove fried artichokes and drain on paper towels. While warm, sprinkle extra salt or Parmesan if desired.
  7. Serve warm immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own.

Notes

Dry artichokes thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for best results. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fresh Parmesan and fresh panko breadcrumbs improve flavor and texture. For a lighter option, use an air fryer at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
