These Keto Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Artichoke Hearts are a flavorful, low-carb snack or appetizer, featuring tender artichoke hearts coated in a crispy Parmesan crust. They’re baked to golden perfection and make for a delicious keto-friendly treat.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and halved (or fresh artichoke hearts)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Artichoke Hearts: If using canned artichoke hearts, drain them and pat them dry with paper towels. If using fresh artichoke hearts, steam or boil them until tender, then slice them in half and dry them thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Coat the Artichoke Hearts: Dip each artichoke heart half into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well-coated. Then, roll the artichoke heart in the Parmesan and almond flour mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.
  4. Bake the Artichokes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated artichoke hearts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the artichokes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Serve: Once baked, remove the artichoke hearts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a dipping sauce like marinara or aioli.
