Ingredients

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

2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup diced sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Place the drained artichoke hearts on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Step 3: Drizzle olive oil over the artichokes and gently toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle half of the dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper on top.
Step 4: Flip the artichoke hearts cut side down, then sprinkle the remaining oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper over them.
Step 5: Roast the artichokes cut side down for 15 minutes.
Step 6: Flip the artichokes cut side up again and roast for an additional 10 minutes, then broil for 1 to 2 minutes to brown the tops.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled feta, diced sun dried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 8: Broil again for about 1 minute until the cheese melts slightly.
Step 9: Garnish with fresh parsley, capers, and red pepper flakes if using. Serve warm with whipped feta dip.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the artichoke hearts in olive oil and herbs for 30 minutes before roasting.
Substitute sun dried tomatoes with roasted red peppers for a milder taste.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.

Storage

Store any leftover roasted artichoke hearts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to preserve the texture and flavors.

How to Serve
