Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz. frozen quartered artichokes, thawed and patted dry
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Olive oil spray

For the Lemon Aioli:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by thawing the artichokes. Drain and pat dry using paper towels. You can also use jarred/canned artichokes in the same amount and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the cornstarch, salt, cayenne, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Dip each artichoke heart into the mixture, coating completely. Set the coated artichokes on a separate plate and repeat with the remaining artichokes.
  • Once the air fryer is preheated, add the coated artichokes to the basket. Spray with olive oil spray carefully and place the basket into the fryer.
  • Cook for 6-7 minutes. Open the fryer and carefully flip the artichokes. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until crisp.
  • Meanwhile, make the Lemon Aioli. Mix the mayo, lemon zest, juice, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until homogenous and set aside.
  • When the artichokes are done, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve hot with the dipping sauce.
