Getting Started
- Use pre-cooked artichoke hearts (canned or frozen, thawed and drained well) for optimal air frying results. Raw artichokes require extensive cooking time.
- Cut protein sources (chicken, shrimp, halloumi) to a similar size as the artichoke pieces, about 1-inch, to ensure even cooking and browning.
- A light coating of olive oil (1-2 teaspoons per serving) is crucial for achieving crispness and ensuring seasonings adhere to both artichokes and protein.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary, allowing sufficient air circulation for crisping rather than steaming.
