**FOR THE AIR FRIED ARTICHOKE HEARTS:**
* 2 14.5 oz. Cans of Quartered Artichoke Hearts, packed in water and drained * 3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil * 1/4 cup Seasoned Panko Breadcrumbs * 2 tbsp. Grated Parmesan * 1/2 tsp. Salt, or more to taste * 1/2 tsp. White Pepper, or more to taste
**LEMON-CAPER AIOLI:**
* 3/4 cup Mayonnaise * 3 Garlic Cloves, minced * 1 tbsp. Chopped Italian Parsley * 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard * 1 tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice * 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder * 1 tbsp. Capers, drained and chopped * 1 tsp. White Pepper * Salt, if needed to taste * Paprika (not smoked), optional for garnish
**INSTRUCTIONS**
1. Regardless of either method you use, you’ll need to drain the artichokes throughly and pat them dry with paper towels. When aiming for crunchy-crispy artichoke hearts… the drier, the better. 2. AIR FRYER: Preheat the air fryer to 390F. Place down a layer of paper towels and set the tray on top (paper towels are simply for easy cleanup). Add the artichoke hearts to the tray in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Drizzle each one with a little bit of olive oil. Next you’ll sprinkle each with a panko bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, and white pepper. Transfer the tray to the preheated air fryer and cook for 8 – 10 minutes, or until the artichoke hearts and panko-parm mix are starting to brown. 3. STANDARD OVEN: Preheat the oven to 425F. Transfer the dried artichokes to a sheet pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. Drizzle each one with olive oil and then sprinkle each with the panko bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, and white pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, flip, and then roast for another 10 – 15 minutes or until browned. 4. While the artichoke hearts are cooking, mix together all of the ingredients for the lemon caper aioli in a large bowl and set aside. 5. Once crispy, serve the fried artichoke hearts with dipping sauce and enjoy immediately.
