Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces canned whole artichoke hearts, drained
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup avocado oil
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Drain and pat the canned whole artichoke hearts dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl or dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Dip each artichoke heart into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated artichoke heart into the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
Heat the avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of the flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Carefully place the coated artichoke hearts into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried artichokes from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the crispy artichokes.
