Ingredients

• 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts (quartered or whole)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned artichoke hearts and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge each artichoke heart in the flour, ensuring it's lightly coated. Dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it fully in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded artichoke hearts on a plate or tray.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for consistent frying.

Step 5

Carefully lower a few artichoke hearts into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.

Step 6

Fry the artichoke hearts for 2 to 3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove the fried artichoke hearts and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process with the remaining artichoke hearts.

Step 9

Serve the deep-fried artichoke hearts hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or marinara.
