Easy Air Fryer Artichokes (No Breading!)

Samantha Erb
My air fryer artichokes come out slightly crispy on the leaves and tender in the artichoke hearts. They're made with just 5 simple ingredients, needing no breading!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 medium artichokes
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (one small lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 340F.
  • Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and remove the fuzzy choke from the inside using a spoon (it's not edible).
  • Pour the lemon juice over the cut sides. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Flip them and repeat on the leafy side.
  • Place the asparagus cut side down in the air fryer and air fry them for 12 minutes. Open the air fryer, flip the artichokes, then fry for 4 more minutes (16 minutes total).

Notes

  • My top tip: Remove the tough outer leaves so the inner leaves have a chance to get crispy.
  • Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 340F for 5 minutes until the leaves get warm and slightly crispy again.
