Description

These air fried artichoke hearts are crispy and super flavorful. You need just a few ingredients, including canned artichoke hearts, thyme, and parmesan cheese to make this simple side dish or savory snack. Ready in 20 minutes or less!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans of whole artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Leaves from 45 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper


Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts from the cans. Use a clean tea towel to dry them off gently.
  2. Cut the artichoke hearts in half. Pat the insides dry with the tea towel.
  3. Place cut artichoke hearts in a mixing bowl. Add the parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Gently toss the artichoke hearts with your hands.
  5. Arrange the artichoke hearts in a single layer in your air fryer tray or basket. Do not overlap – you can cook in batches if needed.
  6. Air fry at 325 degrees F for 13-15 minutes. The artichoke hearts will be done when edges are deep golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Can I make crispy artichoke hearts in the oven?

You can try baking the artichoke hearts in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. I have not tried this myself, but I recommend baking on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at 400 degrees on a convection setting. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Can I prepare these air fried artichoke hearts in advance?

Air fried artichoke hearts are best eaten right after they are prepared, but you can certainly store them for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat them in your air fryer set to a low heat (around 300 degrees F) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed all the way through.
