INGREDIENTS

• 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

FOR THE ZESTY DIP

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat each artichoke heart in flour, dip it in the beaten egg, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
4. Place the coated artichokes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the artichokes are baking, prepare the zesty dip by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
7. Once the artichokes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the dip. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture!

For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the breadcrumbs with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour.

Store leftover artichoke hearts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to retain their crispiness. This dish is also great for meal prep, as you can prep the artichokes ahead of time and bake them just before serving!
