These Air Fryer Crispy Artichokes are an easy appetizer that packs a big crunch. Make up a batch for a party or BBQ and you'll have all your guests asking for the recipe.
Drain the artichoke hearts. Gently squeeze them to release more liquid.
In a bowl, melt the butter. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and salt.
Coat each piece of artichoke in butter, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the artichoke pieces in the air fryer basket, spaced out. If your basket is too small for all the pieces, cook them in batches.
Spray the artichoke hearts with cooking spray.
Air fry at 375° F(190°C) for 8 minutes, flipping the artichoke hearts and spraying them again with oil halfway through cooking.
Remove from air fryer and serve with garlic aioli.
Notes
Drain the artichokes well before breading.
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches. It's important not to overcrowd the basket. The results will be crispier if they aren't overlapping and the breading will stay on better as well.
Make sure to spray the air fryer basket before you add the artichokes. That will keep the breading from sticking to the basket.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
