  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 (14 oz) cans artichoke hearts, halved, in water
  • Cooking spray, for air fryer

Garlic Aioli

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 clove garlic, large, grated
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the artichokes evenly.
  2. Prepare artichokes: Remove artichoke hearts from the cans and drain them well. If the artichokes are whole, cut them in half. Pat them dry gently using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Season artichokes: In a bowl, toss the artichoke hearts with olive oil until well coated. Add garlic powder and kosher salt, tossing gently to distribute the seasoning evenly. Finally, add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Air fry artichokes: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned artichokes inside the basket and air fry at 400ºF for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the artichokes to ensure even cooking and air fry for an additional 5 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
  5. Make garlic aioli: While the artichokes cook, combine mayonnaise, smoked paprika, grated garlic, kosher salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined to create a flavorful dipping sauce.
  6. Serve: Remove the air-fried artichoke hearts from the air fryer and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately with the garlic aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure artichokes are dried thoroughly before coating to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust garlic powder and paprika according to your taste preferences.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and texture.
  • The garlic aioli can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit Parmesan and substitute with nutritional yeast, and check mayo ingredients for compliance.
