Ingredients
  

2 cans (14 oz each) of artichoke hearts, drained and patted dry

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Breading Station: Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. The second bowl should contain the beaten eggs, whisked until well combined. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.

      Coat the Artichokes: Take one artichoke heart at a time. Start by dredging it in the seasoned flour, ensuring to shake off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, roll the artichoke heart in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure that the crumbs adhere well.

        Arrange for Baking: Place the coated artichoke hearts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure to space them out to allow for even cooking. For added crunch, lightly spray or drizzle the artichokes with cooking spray or olive oil.

          Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the artichoke hearts are golden brown and crispy. To achieve even browning, gently flip them halfway through the baking time.

            Serve: Once the artichoke hearts are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, accompanied by lemon wedges for a refreshing zesty kick that complements the cheesy flavors.
