Getting Started
- For fresh artichokes, steam or boil them until tender (about 25-35 minutes) before air frying. This ensures a tender interior and crisp exterior.
- When using canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drain them thoroughly and pat dry. Excess moisture prevents proper browning and crisping in the air fryer.
- Toss artichoke pieces with 1-2 teaspoons of olive or avocado oil. This minimal oil helps achieve a golden, crisp texture and aids in seasoning adherence without dairy.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook artichokes in a single layer, in batches if necessary, to allow hot air to circulate evenly for maximum crispness. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for uniform results.
