Air Fryer Artichoke Recipe
Description
The recipe begins with preparing fresh artichokes by trimming the stem, cutting off the top, and removing tough leaf tips and the fuzzy choke. After rinsing and drying, artichokes are halved and brushed with olive oil, then seasoned inside with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The air fryer cooks the halves at 350°F, first for 8 minutes and then flipped for an additional 4, creating a tender interior with flavorful browned edges.
A homemade garlic aioli dipping sauce, made of mayonnaise, minced garlic, black pepper, dill, paprika, and lemon juice, accompanies the artichokes. The leaves are peeled off and dipped into the sauce, making for a hands-on appetizer or side dish. The recipe suggests serving with lemon wedges and notes that melted butter or plain mayonnaise can replace the aioli as a dip.
Ingredients
- 2 Artichoke
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 lemon
Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare your artichoke. Remove the stem and cut off the top half inch. Use a large knife for this step. Then cut the tip off each of the outer leaves. Kitchen shears work well for this step.
- Wash the vegetable by running it under cold water. Gently pull apart the leaves to let the water in. Pat it dry.
- Cut each artichoke in half. Then remove the tiny fibers, called the choke, at the center of the heart. Use a spoon or knife to dig these out.
- Artichokes will start to brown once you cut them open. Squeeze lemon juice over the inside to stop the browning.
- Brush olive oil over the inside and outside of each half. Season the inside with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place hearts in the air fryer basket and cook at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 more minutes.
- While cooking, mix all the garlic aioli ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Remove hearts from the air fryer basket and let them cool for a few minutes before serving with the sauce.
Notes
- Serve artichokes warm with lemon wedges for added brightness.
- Peel the leaves individually and dip into the garlic aioli or a simpler melted butter or mayonnaise if preferred.
- Removing the choke carefully is essential to make the hearts enjoyable and tender.
