Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts (halved)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cold sparkling water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and pat them dry with a paper towel. Halve them if they are not already halved.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Gradually add the cold sparkling water to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth to form a batter. The batter should be slightly thick but remain pourable.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or a fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Once the oil is hot, dip each artichoke heart half into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the artichoke hearts in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried artichokes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining artichokes.
Serve the crispy fried artichokes hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
