Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Artichokes
Tender air fryer artichokes with crispy, golden leaves and a garlic-parsley finish — a simple, savory side or tapa. The air fryer caramelizes the edges while the hearts turn meltingly soft.
They're a nutritious, elegant vegetable that's easier than it looks. Serve with aioli or a squeeze of lemon for dipping the leaves.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prep
Remove the tough outer leaves, trim the tips and stems, and halve or quarter the artichokes. Rub with lemon to stop browning.
Season
Mix the garlic and parsley with the olive oil and brush over the artichokes, getting it between the leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Air fry
Air fry cut-side down at 380°F for about 18–20 minutes, until the hearts are tender and the edges are crisp and golden.
- Rub cut surfaces with lemon so they don't brown.
- Getting oil between the leaves helps them crisp.
- Check the heart is tender with a knife before serving.
