Equipment

  • Air Fryer

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 Fresh Artichokes
  • 1 Lemon
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prepare the Artichokes: Rinse the artichokes under cold water. Trim the top quarter and cut off thorny tips. Optionally, halve the artichokes for quicker cooking.
  • Make the Seasoning Mix: In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, 2 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Add optional ingredients like Parmesan and fresh herbs if desired.
  • Coat the Artichokes: Brush the artichokes with the seasoning mix, ensuring the leaves are well-coated. If halved, make sure to coat the cut side as well.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat.
  • Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned artichokes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
  • Air Fry: Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping the artichokes halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve Hot: Once done, carefully remove the artichokes from the air fryer. Let them cool for a few minutes and then arrange them on a plate.

NOTES

  • The size and form of artichokes might vary. Due to this, they may require different amounts of seasoning and air-frying time. For medium ones, 12–15 minutes should be adequate. Cooking time must be increased if using large ones.
  • I would choose 17 to 20 minutes, but I would monitor them. Because some of the salt will come off when cooking, I also prefer to season them liberally on both sides. Lemon juice should also be used liberally.
  • Use only olive oil for the finest results (I used extra virgin olive oil).
  • In this situation, more pepper is preferable to less. The artichokes do get a good flavor from it.
