• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 can whole artichoke hearts in water

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

½ tsp dried oregano

2 tbsp arrowroot powder (or corn starch or potato starch)

2 tbsp finely grated parmesan

½ cup mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tbsp finely chopped basil

2 tsp lemon zest

1 tsp lemon juice

¼ tsp salt

Directions

Preheat the air fryer at 400º Fahrenheit for 5 minutes

While the air fryer is preheating, remove the artichoke hearts from the can and cut in half (they are delicate so make sure you keep the halves intact)

Lay two pieces of paper towel on the counter and place the artichoke halves face down on the paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.

Add the artichoke hearts to a bowl and drizzle in olive oil.

Add in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano and gently stir to ensure they are well coated in the seasoning.

Next add the arrowroot powder and stir again to ensure all evenly coated.

Finally add in finely grated parmesan and stir one final time.

Generously spray the preheated air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Arrange the artichoke hearts evenly spaced out in the air fryer basket. If there is any excess parmesan from the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle it over the top of the artichokes in the basket.

Cook them for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes flip each of the artichokes over and then cook for an additional 5mins

While the artichoke hearts are cooking, stir together all of the ingredients for the aioli.

Serve the artichoke hearts with the aioli on the side for dipping.
