Ingredients
  

1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

    While the air fryer is heating, drain and rinse the artichoke hearts, then gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

        Add the artichoke hearts to the bowl and toss until they are well-coated with the marinade.

          Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the artichoke hearts and gently toss again to ensure the cheese sticks to the hearts.

            Place the seasoned artichoke hearts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for the best results.

              Air fry the artichoke hearts for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they are evenly cooked and golden.

                Once they are crispy and golden brown, remove the artichoke hearts from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.

                  Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately while they are warm and crispy.
