Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil spray (for baking) or vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Optional: lemon wedges and dipping sauces (aioli, marinara, or ranch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  3. Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumb mixture in a third.
  4. Coat each artichoke heart in flour, dip into egg, then roll in breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  5. If baking: Arrange artichokes on prepared baking sheet, spray with olive oil, and bake for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
  6. If frying: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry artichokes for 2–3 minutes per side until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Add Italian seasoning or smoked paprika to breadcrumb mix for extra flavor.
  • Mix in a pinch of cayenne for a spicier coating.
  • Swap Parmesan for pecorino cheese for a sharper taste.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer for best results.
  • Avoid microwaving to maintain crispiness.
