- Can I use frozen artichoke hearts instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen artichoke hearts! Just make sure to thaw and pat them dry before tossing with the seasonings. If they’re still a bit wet, the crispiness might be affected, so drying them properly is key!
- How do I ensure the artichoke hearts get crispy?
The secret is all about moisture! After draining the artichokes, be sure to dry them thoroughly with paper towels. Toss them in olive oil and seasonings evenly, and make sure they’re spaced out in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding will result in soggy artichokes.
- Can I make these artichokes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the artichokes by draining and seasoning them in advance, then store them in the fridge for a few hours. When you’re ready to cook, just pop them in the air fryer for a quick crisp-up.
- What if I don’t have an air fryer?
No worries! You can bake the artichokes in the oven at 400°F (200°C). Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.
- How do I store leftovers?
Leftover air-fried artichoke hearts can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for about 3-5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to get them crispy again!
