Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can or jar of artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or neutral cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Drain and thoroughly dry the artichoke hearts using paper towels.
- Prepare three bowls: one with flour and seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika), one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
- Dredge each artichoke heart in the flour mixture, shake off excess.
- Dip the floured artichoke into the beaten eggs, coating evenly.
- Roll the egg-coated artichoke in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Fry artichokes in a single layer, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding.
- Transfer fried artichokes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For a lighter version, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Ensure artichokes are completely dry to maintain crispiness.
Panko breadcrumbs enhance crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
