Notes
Tips and tricks
- You must dry the artichoke hearts with paper towels before coating them in the seasonings. Any excess moisture will create steam and make the artichoke hearts mushy instead of crispy.
- Arrange the hearts in a single layer in the basket, leaving some space in between each one. You may need to cook them in batches if they don’t all fit comfortably.
- Check for doneness around the 7 to 8-minute mark and adjust as needed. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Crunchy breaded version - Combine the parmesan and seasonings with breadcrumbs in a small bowl. After tossing the artichokes lightly with oil, coat them in the breadcrumbs. Air fry as directed, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the time for maximum crunch.
- Experiment with the seasonings - If you love a little heat, add smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or cayenne to the seasonings. Or, for a bright, citrusy note, add lemon zest to the mix.
- Finish with fresh lemon and herbs - Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or basil over the crispy artichoke hearts for a pop of fresh flavor.
- Dairy-free/vegan option - For a “cheesy” version without the cheese, use vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast instead of real parmesan.
