Ingredients

Scale

Artichoke Hearts and Seasoning

  • 2 (13.75 oz.) cans whole artichoke hearts, drained
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Cheese and Garnishes

  • 2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)

Serving

  • Whipped Feta Dip, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the artichoke hearts.
  2. Prepare the artichoke hearts: Place the drained artichoke hearts on a baking sheet, arranging them cut side up to maximize the surface area exposed to heat.
  3. Season first side: Drizzle olive oil over the artichokes and gently toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle half the dried oregano and paprika over them, then add a couple pinches of kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to season.
  4. Season flip side: Flip the artichoke hearts over so the cut side is down. Sprinkle the remaining oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper on this side for balanced flavor.
  5. Roast cut side down: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the artichokes for 15 minutes, allowing the cut side to caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  6. Flip and continue roasting: Flip the artichokes back to cut side up and roast for another 10 minutes to cook them through evenly. Then switch the oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the tops.
  7. Add cheeses and sun dried tomatoes: Sprinkle the crumbled feta, diced sun dried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan evenly over the artichoke hearts.
  8. Broil with toppings: Return the baking sheet to the broiler and broil for about one minute, just until the cheese softens and starts to brown slightly.
  9. Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, capers, and optional red pepper flakes for a little heat. Serve warm alongside the creamy whipped feta dip for dipping.

Notes

  • Use canned artichoke hearts for convenience and consistent tenderness.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts according to taste preference.
  • Keep an eye on the artichokes when broiling to prevent burning.
  • Sun dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness that balances the savory cheeses.
  • Serve as an appetizer or a flavorful side dish.
