Ingredients

• 14 ounces Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• None enough for shallow frying Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each artichoke heart in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 4

Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. To test if the oil is ready, drop in a small piece of breadcrumb; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 5

Carefully place the breaded artichoke hearts in the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the artichoke hearts from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

Repeat the frying process with any remaining artichoke hearts.

Step 8

Serve the breaded artichoke hearts warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or garlic aioli. Enjoy!
