Crispy Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)

I never ate artichokes growing up. It just wasn’t a vegetable my parents made so I didn’t really try them until I was older. Fortunately my husband grew up eating them and introduced them to me early on in our marriage, because they are now one of my favorite vegetables.

These crispy artichoke hearts have definitely become a family favorite. They are quick and easy to make for a snack or side dish. They are gluten-free and dairy-free (although you could certainly make them with regular milk and panko bread crumbs instead of almond flour if you prefer). They can also be whole30 compliant if you use a whole30-friendly mayonnaise.

• 1 egg
• ¼ cup almond milk
• 1 cup almond flour

Instructions

1. Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and almond milk. Place almond flour on a shallow plate and season generously with salt and pepper.  In batches, add artichokes to egg mixture, turning to coat completely, then dredge in almond flour mixture. Turn to cover evenly and press artichokes into flour to make sure it is well coated. Spray with cooking spray evenly on both sides. Add to air fryer basket and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning half way through, until crisp and golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, stir together mayonnaise and balsamic. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve with artichokes.
