Roasted Lemon Artichoke Hearts
Artichoke hearts may be well-known as a sidekick to spinach in a popular dip, but they are equally delicious on their own. Roasting creates caramelization which only enhances the flavor.
These artichoke hearts are completely addicting. Lemon, garlic, red pepper flakes, and rosemary provide an explosion of flavor.
You may want to double this recipe... these are simply THAT good! Leftovers - if you are lucky enough to have some - are delicious in this spinach artichoke frittata.
Why use canned artichokes?
Canned artichoke hearts are readily available all year long. They are convenient and ready to use, unlike fresh artichokes which involve much preparation.
Ingredient notes
- Artichoke hearts - Use canned artichoke hearts packed in water. Don't use the jarred varieties which are typically marinated in oil. Save those for antipasto platters! Frozen artichoke hearts can also be used. Be sure to thaw them first.
- Lemon and rosemary are a match made in heaven and these flavors go perfectly with artichokes.
- Garlic is another flavor bomb that pairs beautifully with artichokes.
- Red pepper flakes add a touch of heat. You can adjust the amount of spice to your liking.
- Panko breadcrumbs add crunch and texture to the finished dish. I prefer panko because their crumb is larger and more flaky than traditional breadcrumbs.

FAQs
Quartered artichokes are best for roasting because they provide optimal surface area for caramelization. Both canned and frozen artichoke hearts can be purchased already quartered. If you have whole (canned or frozen) artichoke hearts, cut them into quarters before roasting.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven.
