  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts

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

Garlic Aioli

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400ºF (204ºC) and allow it to preheat while preparing the artichokes.
  2. Prepare Artichokes: Drain the canned artichoke hearts thoroughly. If whole, cut them in half. Pat dry gently using paper towels to remove excess moisture for a crispier result.
  3. Season Artichokes: Place the artichokes in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle garlic powder and kosher salt over them, mixing gently again. Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss until the artichokes are fully coated with the seasoning.
  4. Air Fry Artichokes: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated artichokes in a single layer inside the basket. Air fry for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the artichokes and air fry for an additional 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Make Garlic Aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, smoked paprika, grated garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth and flavorful dipping sauce.
  6. Serve: Transfer the crispy artichoke hearts to a serving platter alongside the garlic aioli. Enjoy immediately as a delicious keto-friendly appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Drying artichoke hearts thoroughly before air frying is key to achieving a crispy texture.
  • You can adjust garlic powder and smoked paprika levels to suit your taste preferences.
  • If fresh Parmesan is not available, pre-grated Parmesan can be used but freshly grated offers better flavor and texture.
  • For a spicier aioli, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Air fryer models vary; monitor the artichokes in the last few minutes to prevent overcooking.
