Ingredients

• 14 oz Canned artichoke hearts
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned artichoke hearts and pat them dry with paper towels. Roughly chop them into small pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. The batter should be thick, but not overly stiff.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature to avoid greasy fritters.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

Step 8

Place the cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the artichoke fritters warm, with your choice of dipping sauce such as aioli, marinara, or a creamy herb dip.
