Instructions

Crispy Artichokes

  • Regardless of which cooking method you choose, drain the artichokes and thoroughly dry them.
  • Oven Method:
    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the dried artichokes on a sheet pan and drizzle them with a generous amount of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  • Airfryer Method:
    Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes. In a separate bowl, drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil and season the hearts with a pinch of salt. Place the artichokes in the fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook for 5 minutes, then give the basket a shake to flip, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the artichokes are crispy and brown.
