Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy artichoke hearts warm as an Appetizer, Amuse or Side Dish. They are also delicious scattered over a fresh salad, where the crisp coating provides a contrast to the leafy vegetables.Recipe Notes
Drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly before coating them. Removing excess moisture helps the egg mixture and crumb coating adhere more evenly. Cook them in batches rather than overcrowding the Airfryer.Variations
For extra flavour, season the almond flour and pork rind mixture with black pepper, garlic powder or dried herbs. The artichokes are already seasoned, so taste before adding extra salt.Storage Advice
Store leftover cooked artichoke hearts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer until thoroughly hot and crisp. Microwaving is possible but will produce a softer coating.Wine Advice
Artichokes can be challenging with wine, but a fresh Sauvignon Blanc works well with their distinctive vegetable flavour and the Dijon mustard. A crisp Pinot Grigio is another suitable choice for this light, savoury dish.Nutrition values
