🔪 How to Make Breaded Artichoke Hearts

Preheat oven to 425°F. 

To Make the Dipping Sauce

Add the dipping sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Whisk until well combined, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

To Make the Artichokes

Drain, rinse, cut in half and pat dry the artichoke hearts (if you are using whole artichokes).

Spray both sides of the artichokes with olive oil.

In a separate mixing bowl, add in the almond flour, parmesan cheese and garlic salt, then whisk to combine and break up any lumps.

Take each artichoke heart and dip it into the breading mixture for a light coating.

Add the breaded artichoke on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and heavily spray them with olive oil.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Serve with the dipping sauce.

💡 Tips

• If you want them even crispier, instead of baking them you can fry them in a large skillet in some olive oil until golden.
• Pat them dry! Extra moisture keeps them from crisping up, so make sure to dry them really well before coating.
• Don’t skip the oil spray. A good coating of olive oil helps them get that golden, crunchy texture.
• Use a baking sheet with parchment. It keeps them from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
• Broil for extra crispiness. If you want them extra crunchy, pop them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end.
• Serve immediately. These are best hot and crispy right out of the oven.

☑️ Storage Instructions

These artichoke hearts are best right after they're baked but you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven to crisp them up.

🍴 What to Serve with Breaded Artichoke Hearts

• Spinach Artichoke Dip: Keep the artichoke theme going with a creamy, cheesy dip.
• Roasted Garlic Hummus: A smooth and smoky contrast to the crispy artichokes.
• Greek Salad Skewers: Fresh cucumbers and olives balance out the richness.
• Creamy Shrimp Salad: A light but flavorful protein pairing.
• Sauteed Asparagus: Another easy veggie side that complements the flavors.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Spice it up: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the breading mix for extra heat.

• Extra cheesy: Swap in some pecorino romano or asiago for a bolder cheese flavor.

• Different sauce: Serve these with marinara, ranch, or even a simple lemon garlic butter for dipping.

• Fresh artichokes: If you have fresh artichokes, steam them first, then proceed with the recipe.

• Air fry them: These bake beautifully, but you can also air fry them at 400°F for about 10 minutes.

• Lemon zest: Mix some extra zest into the breading for even more bright, citrusy flavor.

Can I Make These Artichokes Ahead of Time?

Yes! You can bread the artichokes a few hours in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to bake. Just don’t coat them too far ahead, or they may get soggy.

Can I Use Marinated Artichoke Hearts Instead of Canned?

Yes, but be sure to rinse and dry them really well, or they may turn out too oily.

Why is My Coating Falling Off?

If the breading isn’t sticking, your artichokes may be too wet. Pat them dry thoroughly and press the coating on firmly. Spraying with extra olive oil before baking can also help.

Can I Double This Recipe?

Absolutely! Just make sure the artichokes aren’t crowded on the baking sheet so they crisp up properly. Use two pans if needed.

Are Baked Artichoke Hearts Keto-Friendly?

These are! Since they’re coated with almond flour instead of breadcrumbs, they’re naturally low-carb and keto-approved.
