Air Fryer Canned Artichoke Hearts
Description
Crispy on the outside, tender inside — canned artichoke hearts turn golden in the air fryer in about 8 minutes. The key is drying them well first. Works for frozen artichokes too.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces artichoke hearts, (quartered), drained and patted very dry
- 1 teaspoon olive oil, or olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or salt, pepper + Parmesan
- Optional: lemon wedges, chopped parsley, dipping sauce for serving,
Instructions
- Drain the artichoke hearts and pat them as dry as possible with paper towels or a clean towel.
- Toss with olive oil and seasoning until lightly coated.
- Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces.
- Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately with lemon, parsley, and a dipping sauce.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
Frozen variation: Toss 12 oz frozen artichoke hearts (no need to thaw) with oil and seasoning. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, tossing halfway.
Notes
- Drying the artichokes thoroughly is the difference between crispy and soggy.
- Don't overcrowd; cook in batches if needed.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes (not the microwave).
