Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole fresh artichokes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 large egg whites
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the artichokes, removing the tough outer leaves and trimming the stems.
Slice each artichoke in half lengthwise and remove the fuzzy choke inside. Place them in a bowl of water with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a bowl, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg whites.
Dip each artichoke half into the egg whites, ensuring it's fully coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat completely.
Place the coated artichokes on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the artichokes are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy your heart-healthy crispy fried artichokes!
