Ingredients
  

1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

2 large eggs

¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)

Cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare Artichokes: Gently pat the artichoke hearts dry using paper towels. This step is essential for ensuring they become wonderfully crispy during baking.

      Set Up Dredging Station: Arrange three shallow bowls in a line. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, crack and beat the eggs until fully blended. In the third bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.

        Dredge the Artichokes: Start by coating each artichoke heart in flour, ensuring to shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the floured artichoke heart into the beaten eggs, letting the excess egg drip back into the bowl. Finally, roll each heart in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure a good coating on each piece.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they have space between them so they can crisp up evenly.

            Add Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the artichoke hearts with cooking spray or drizzle them with olive oil. This will help achieve that appealing golden-brown finish while baking.

              Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. For optimal crispiness, turn the artichokes halfway through the baking time.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the artichoke hearts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. These crispy delights make excellent appetizers or a fun side dish!
