Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) quartered artichoke hearts, drained
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
Instructions
-
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 melted butter with garlic powder.
- In another bowl, combine grated 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. They’re done when golden and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Let the artichokes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or on their own!
Notes
- Use Panko Breadcrumbs: For an even crunchier texture, substitute regular breadcrumbs with panko breadcrumbs.
- Herb-Infused Butter: Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the butter for extra flavor.
- Dipping Sauces: Serve with garlic aioli, marinara sauce, or lemon-garlic yogurt dip.
