Deep Fried Artichoke Hearts

Deep Fried Artichoke Hearts

Deep fried artichoke hearts are tender pieces of artichoke, coated in a seasoned batter or breadcrumbs, then fried to a golden crisp. Their texture is a delicious contrast—crunchy on the outside, soft and savory inside. Served hot with herbs, cheese, and dipping sauces like aioli or marinara, they’re a popular appetizer or snack in Mediterranean and American cuisines.
