Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Artichoke Hearts with Lemony Mayo.
Step 1
To start, grab a small bowl and mix together the mayonnaise, minced garlic (if you’re using it), fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, kosher salt, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Step 2
Stir everything together until it’s well combined, then set this zesty dip aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 3
Next, take your artichoke hearts and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 4
Gently pat them dry with additional paper towels to soak up any excess moisture—this step is key for achieving that perfect crispy texture.
Step 5
In a shallow dish, whisk together some flour, water, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Step 6
In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, and paprika for a flavorful coating.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to bread those artichoke hearts! Take one heart and dip it into the flour mixture, making sure it’s lightly coated.
Step 8
Let any excess flour drip off, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture until it’s fully covered.
Step 9
Place the breaded artichoke heart on a plate and repeat this process with the rest of the hearts.
Step 10
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the next steps.
Step 11
Once it’s ready, lightly spray half of the breaded artichoke hearts with cooking spray.
Step 12
Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave about an inch of space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 13
Air-fry the artichoke hearts for about 7 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they get golden and crispy all around.
Step 14
Once they’re done, let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Step 15
This little pause allows the flavors to settle and makes them easier to enjoy.
Step 16
Serve your deliciously crispy artichoke hearts with the tangy lemony mayo dip you prepared earlier, and get ready to savor every bite!.
