Breaded Artichoke Hearts
Description
The preparation begins by draining canned artichoke hearts well and patting them dry to prevent sogginess in the breading. The coating process uses a three-step breading station: seasoned flour, beaten egg, and a breadcrumb mixture flavored with Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. This layered breading provides a flavorful, crispy crust upon cooking.
The artichokes can be deep fried in hot oil until golden, air fried with oil spray for a lighter method, or pan-fried carefully in hot oil. Cooking times vary slightly depending on the size of the artichoke pieces, generally around 4 to 8 minutes, until a crisp, golden crust forms and the artichokes are warmed through. Avoid overcrowding the cooking vessel to maintain crispiness and avoid steaming.
Best enjoyed freshly cooked to preserve the crunchy texture, these breaded artichokes make a savory snack or accompaniment. Preparation details and cooking choices allow flexibility based on available equipment and preference.
Ingredients
- 30 ounce artichoke hearts (425g) canned
- 2 egg
- ½ cup all-purpose flour plain flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs dried
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Remove the liquid from the can. Pat the artichokes dry with a paper towel squeezing out any excess liquid. Leave them on a paper towel-lined plate for a few minutes to drain fully.
- Use three bowls to make the breading station. Lightly beat the egg in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and pepper. Whisk the breadcrumbs, parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder in a third bowl.
- Coat each artichoke in the egg, then the flour, then the breadcrumbs, and set aside.
Deep Fried Artichokes:
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the artichokes, in batches if necessary, for about 4 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Air Fryer Artichokes:
- Add the coated artichokes to the air fryer, spray them with oil and air fry at 375F for 8 minutes, turning once and spraying with oil again, or until golden and crispy.
Fried Artichokes on Stovetop:
- Carefully cook in a pan of hot oil for a few minutes until golden, then remove with a large slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Oven Baked Artichokes:
- Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Place the breaded artichokes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 18 minutes or until cooked and golden.
Notes
- Ensure artichokes are fully drained and patted dry to keep the breading crisp.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer or pan to prevent soggy coating; cook in batches if necessary.
- Adjust cooking time according to the size of the artichoke hearts to achieve golden crispness.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
