Ingredients
Scale
Artichoke Hearts
- 12 oz artichoke hearts
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Toppings
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the artichoke hearts to a golden crisp.
- Prepare Artichokes: Pat the artichoke hearts dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring they bake evenly and become nicely crisp.
- Season the Artichokes: Place the dried artichoke hearts in a mixing bowl, then add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned artichoke hearts in a single layer on a baking sheet, allowing space for heat circulation.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until the artichoke hearts turn golden and have a crisp texture.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the hearts.
- Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and becomes slightly bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm as a tasty appetizer or side dish.
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.
