Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the artichoke hearts to a golden crisp.
2. Prepare Artichokes: Pat the artichoke hearts dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they bake evenly and become nicely crisp.

Notes

• Ensure artichoke hearts are well dried before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness.
• To make this dish vegan, omit parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of lemon juice over finished artichokes before serving.
• Serve immediately for best texture, as the crispiness diminishes over time.
