Recipe notes
What’s in these roasted artichoke hearts
Artichoke hearts: I use canned artichoke hearts as they are already cooked through and ready to go. You’re welcome to use frozen, but thaw them first.
Marinade: extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, convenient garlic powder and dried parsley add so much flavor to the plain artichokes. You can also use Italian herb seasoning, oregano, or basil instead of parsley.
Breadcrumbs: to add a lovely crispy, crunchy texture when baked. You can make these roasted artichoke hearts gluten-free by using a gluten-free bread crumb mixture.
Parmesan cheese: it brings its rich, nutty and salty flavor, but If you wish a dairy-free option, you can skip the cheese.
Salt and pepper: for flavor.
Important tip: drain the artichokes and pat them dry well otherwise the breadcrumb mixture will become soggy, and bye-bye golden crispy coating!

Roasted Artichoke Hearts
Ingredients
- 1 can artichoke hearts, fully drained
- 1 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning (or your fav herbs)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (or ½ garlic clove, finely grated)
- ⅙ teaspoon fine salt
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Mix breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese in a second small bowl.
- Cut each artichoke heart into quarters, pat them dry with kitchen paper, then add them to the marinade and toss gently to coat.
- Transfer the artichoke hearts onto a baking dish lined with parchment paper, and top them with breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing the coating with your fingers (you want the breadcrumbs to stick to the artichokes).
- Drizzle with some olive oil (you don't need extra salt) and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, adding the grill in the last 5 minutes of the baking time for a crispier texture.
