Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke bottoms or 810 frozen artichoke bottoms, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup plain dry breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra grated Parmesan, for topping
  • Additional olive oil, for drizzling

Ingredient Tips:

  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
  • Substitute shallots with sweet onions.
  • Use vegan Parmesan to make the recipe dairy-free.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Artichokes: Drain canned artichoke bottoms well and pat dry. If using frozen, thaw completely and blot dry.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet. Cook shallot for 3 minutes, then add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  3. Build the Filling: Add breadcrumbs to the skillet and toast lightly. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place artichoke bottoms in a greased baking dish. Fill each with the breadcrumb mixture. Top with Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest.

Notes

  • Toast the breadcrumbs for maximum flavor.
  • Dry artichokes thoroughly to prevent soggy filling.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan for the best taste.
  • Assemble ahead and bake just before serving.
  • Store leftovers up to 3 days; reheat in oven for crispiness.
