Fried Artichoke Hearts with Aioli Dipping Sauce Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by MissAlyssaG

Number Of Ingredients 11

for quick aioli:
1 can whole artichoke hearts
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs (or seasoned Italian breadcrumbs)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, minced
tiny pinch paprika
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts then pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, salt and pepper. In another smaller bowl, crack the egg and beat lightly with a fork. Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper and give a quick spray with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly drench each heart in the egg then cover with the breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. While hearts are baking, prepare the sauce. Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic and paprika until smooth. Serve with artichoke hearts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right artichoke hearts: Look for frozen or canned artichoke hearts that are packed in water or brine, rather than oil. This will help reduce the fat content of the dish.
  • Thaw the artichoke hearts properly: If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Do not thaw them in the microwave, as this can make them tough.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the artichoke hearts from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat: This will help prevent the oil from smoking and burning.
  • Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet: Cook them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
  • Season the artichoke hearts with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Serve the artichoke hearts immediately: They can be served as an appetizer or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Fried artichoke hearts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy snack, give fried artichoke hearts a try.
