Crispy Air Fried Artichoke Hearts are a simple & easy appetizer. These delicious panko coated artichoke hearts are the hit of every party. Perfect for backyard BBQs & every holiday.
Do you love artichoke hearts? Our family sure does & they are always looking for a reason to add them to every occasion they can.
When planning our holiday gatherings this summer we thought using our air fryer to whip up some Crispy Air Fried Artichoke Hearts was a great idea. They really are the perfect bite-sized snack & everyone loves them.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Reese Specialty Foods. The opinions and text are all my own.
I started with these Reese Quartered Artichokes.
They are incredibly versatile & so flavorful. We love that they are Non-GMO Project Verified. That is really important to me when serving up delicious food for our friends & family.
We love that they make it so easy to step outside the comfort food zone & make something that everyone raves over.
Fried Artichoke Hearts
The recipe is really quite simple to make. We tossed the artichokes in a little mayonnaise to give the panko a little something to hold onto.
Then we dredged them in the bowl of panko, sprinkled with a little bit of parmesan cheese & salt & pepper & placed them in the air fryer.
It was incredibly quick & easy, which is great because we were making batch after batch to keep our crowd happy.
Here are some commonly asked questions
How many can this serve?
This recipe makes about 8 servings, providing each person has just a couple. But since it is an appetizer and not a meal, it makes it perfect when waiting for the delicious dinner that is coming next.
What if I can’t find panko?
You can substitute with breadcrumbs if you like. It just won’t be quite as crunchy. You can often find panko right next to the breadcrumbs. We have also use crushed crackers or chips that give a nice crunch.

What sort of dipping sauce do you recommend?
These would be fabulous dipped in a little mayonnaise, mustard sauce, ranch, fry sauce or even some marinara. Although they don’t need anything really, we love them just as they are.
Can I use an egg wash instead of mayonnaise?
Yes, but the panko might have a harder time staying in place & the egg will most likely drip in your air fryer initially before it starts cooking. Unless you have the skillet/tray attachment for your fryer & you are using the basket, I would stick to the mayonnaise.

We hope you enjoy these at your next gathering! You got this!
What air fryer do you use?
We actually have 3 air fryers. I have a smaller one from Phillips that we started with. I have since passed that down to my son since he’s cooking for 1.
The more I used the air fryer I realized I really wanted a digital screen. It wasn’t any more expensive, in fact- our XL air fryer from GoWISE was less expensive than the Phillips and I love its ease & extra funtions. Plus it comes with a lot of the extra accessories I like to use when cooking with my fryer.
My new love is this Chefman 6.3 Quart Digital Air Fryer+ Rotisserie that has a rotisserie for poultry and a tumbling basket for things like french fries. I absolutely love it.

I’ve heard such good things about the air fryer!!
Albert Bevia says
These artichoke hearts look like the most incredible appetizer ever! I´ve been meaning to get an air fryer and this recipe is really tempting me to get one right now!!
Rob says
Hi, will the mayo/panko coating still work if the artichokes are deep fried in oil?
Gina Kleinworth says
Hi Rob,
Since this recipe is made for the air fryer, I don’t recommend it. If frying in oil, you might want to stick with traditional flour, then egg wash & then the panko before frying.
Donna says
What kind of dip is that? Do you have recipe for dip?
Gina Kleinworth says
Sure – that is just Fry Sauce – you can find the recipe here https://www.kleinworthco.com/fry-sauce/
or I have this Buccaroo Dipping Sauce https://www.kleinworthco.com/buckaroo-bbq-dipping-sauce/

Marilyn H says
Can these be coated in advance and refrigerated or even frozen before airfrying?
Gina Kleinworth says
I don’t advise it as the panko will absorb the mayo when it is chilled & become soggy & moist while being refrigerated.
Pam says
How about if I have frozen artichokes?
Gina Kleinworth says
I have not tried that, but I would recommend letting them thaw & patting as much excess water off of them before proceeding with the recipe.
Susan Robinson says
Cooking temp?
Gina Kleinworth says
The recipe states “at the highest temperature” so that will depend on your air fryer. However, 370 degrees is the highest my first air fryer would go, so that is what I recommend.
Laura Campbell says
I’m ready to try this, ordered some this evening. Decided to look up a recipe, yours was the first I came across…wish us luck!👍😁
Jackie Hamby says
I have been experimenting with my new air fryer and this recipe seemed to be a good one to try. Unfortunately, the artichoke hearts did not get crispy and the coating did not stick. Kind of a soggy mess. I did dry the hearts on paper towels before they were coated. Not sure why this didn’t work.
Rebecca Finney says
So easy to prepare and very yummy 😃🤩
Laura says
Very good recipe! Used for leftover artichoke hearts and cut recipe in half. Made a dipping sauce but really did it need it.
