Ingredients

• 14 ounces canned whole artichoke hearts, drained
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup arrowroot powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup avocado oil
• 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Drain and pat the canned whole artichoke hearts dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl or dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dip each artichoke heart into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Transfer the egg-coated artichoke heart into the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Heat the avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of the flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Carefully place the coated artichoke hearts into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried artichokes from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the crispy artichokes.
