Equipment
Ingredients
Air Fryer Artichoke Hearts
- 2 cans artichoke hearts, quartered or whole1
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon Cashew Aioli
- 1/4 cup raw cashews2
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon dijon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Make the Artichoke Hearts
- In a large bowl, toss the artichoke hearts with the olive oil and seasonings. Spread in an even layer in the air fryer and cook for 14-16 minutes at 400℉
Make the Lemon Aioli
- Combine all of the ingredients for the aioli in a blender3 and puree until creamy and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Notes
- If buying whole artichokes, then quarter them or halve them first.
- Soaked cashews will be easier to blend. You can either soak for an hour before blending or do a quick soak by covering the cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and use.
- This will blend much easier in a small blender; a large blender likely has too large a base and will likely need to double the recipe in order for it to blend easily. Or, you can try stopping the larger blender and scraping down the sides as needed to let it blend all together. If you do use a large (normal) blender, then I highly recommend soaking the cashews first.
