Roasted Artichoke Hearts

Roasted artichoke heart appetizer is made from canned artichoke hearts, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. It's easy as pie! After 20 minutes, the edges will crisp up and turn golden brown. Sprinkle them with feta dressing if you feel fancy.

Roasted artichoke heart appetizers are elegant and popular, but finger food is not necessary to be fancy.

My Mediterranean Roasted Artichokes Recipe is delicious and beautiful. However, I don't always have the time to make it. Cans of artichoke hearts are my go-to when I need something pretty but don't have the time. Yes, canned!

This recipe calls for canned artichoke hearts. I open them and drizzle extra virgin olive oil on them. Then, I sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. This pantry staple can be transformed into a delicious appetizer with roasted artichoke heart. All it takes is a few minutes in the oven. I'm telling you, simple never tasted so good! Serve them with Mediterranean mezze like Homemade Hummus or Stuffed Grape Leaves if you are hosting a party.

Why can you use canned? Cans have the same richness and tang as fresh artichokes. They also pair well with salty feta cheese. They are also economical and readily available all year.

The artichoke heart recipe can be easily adapted to suit your tastes and mood. You can keep it simple and use EVOO, salt, pepper, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. My Creamy Feta dressing can be added to elevate the dish. Blend the Greek yogurt, feta and lemon juices in a blender. While the oven heats up, make the dressing!

What you'll need for roasted artichoke hearts

This recipe uses only pantry ingredients. You can always find a quick snack or appetizer in your pantry if you keep them stocked.

• Caned quartered artichoke heart: Use unseasoned artichoke heart packed in water.
• Extra-virgin olive oil: A smooth olive oil like our Italian Nocellara allows artichokes to shine.
• Kosher salt, black pepper:Seasoning brings out artichokes' flavor.
• You can eat these roasted artichokes plain. Sprinkle on finely grated Parmesan Cheese. For company, I also make Creamy Feta dressing, especially for appetizers. You should also grab Greek yogurt and Feta. Lemon and Garlic are also good choices.

How to Roast Canned Artichoke Hearts

It is simple to make canned artichoke hearts golden brown. A hot sheet pan is all you need to do the majority of the work. Roast artichoke hearts in an oven

• Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425degF
• Prepare the Feta dressing (optional). Follow this recipe.
• Dry the artichokes. Drain 2 cans of quartered heart artichoke hearts. To dry the artichokes as best as you can, use paper towels.
• Season: Spread the artichoke hearts on a sheet pan. Season the artichoke hearts with a large pinch of salt and black pepper. Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to the dish. Toss the pieces to coat. Then, spread them on a sheet pan so that they don't touch.
• Roast:Roast the artichokes for 15 minutes. Then, toss them and turn the pan. About 10 minutes longer, roast until crisp and golden brown on all sides.
• Serve: Transfer the roasted artichokes onto a plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and drizzle with some feta dressing (if desired). Serve warm with some of the feta dressing on the side.

What to serve with Roasted Artichokes

These roasted artichoke heart are great on their own. They are a great snack option that I can turn to when I need a healthy snack.

When I share with friends, I dress them up in Creamy Feta dressing. I place the artichokes on my kitchen islands with other dips like Hummus or Baba Ganoush. These healthy snacks will last for a lifetime when you add Homemade Pita Chips!
