Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Prepare the Artichokes: Drain the artichoke hearts and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Coat the Artichokes: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. In a separate bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
Dip and Coat: Dip each artichoke heart into the butter mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Place the coated artichokes on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for about 18 minutes, turning the artichokes halfway through to ensure even browning. The artichokes are ready when golden and crispy.
Serve: Let the artichokes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!

FAQs

1. Can I use fresh artichokes instead of canned?

Yes, you can use fresh artichokes, but they will need to be cooked and quartered before using them in this recipe.

2. Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the artichokes and coat them, then refrigerate them until you’re ready to bake them.

3. What dipping sauce goes well with these?

A garlic aioli, marinara sauce, or a lemon-garlic yogurt dip all pair wonderfully with this dish.

4. Can I freeze these artichokes?

While it’s best to enjoy them fresh, you can freeze the coated artichokes before baking. Bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
