Ingredients
Scale
From Frozen:
- 12 ounce frozen artichokes
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning, or seasoning of choice
From Can:
- 14 ounce can quartered artichoke hearts
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning, or seasoning of choice
Instructions
- If using frozen artichoke hearts, let them thaw for about 10 minutes at room temperature. If using canned artichokes, drain them thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the artichoke hearts in a medium bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss them around to make sure each piece gets coated evenly.
- Sprinkle the lemon pepper seasoning over the artichokes and toss again until all pieces are well seasoned.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for about 3 minutes.
- Arrange the seasoned artichoke hearts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them – you want good air circulation for even cooking.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time.
- Check for doneness – they should be golden brown and crispy on the outside. If you want them crispier, cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately while they’re hot and crispy.
Notes
- Pat canned artichokes completely dry before seasoning – excess moisture prevents proper crisping
- Don’t skip preheating your air fryer for the best results
- Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning
- If cooking a large batch, work in smaller portions to avoid overcrowding
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes
- Frozen artichokes don’t need to be completely thawed – slightly frozen ones actually crisp up nicely
- Experiment with different oils like avocado or grapeseed for variety
