If you are looking for a simple and delicious way to cook up your artichokes that is quick and easy, then these air fryer artichokes are just for you! Cooked to perfection, these will be your new favorite vegetable!
Prepare the artichokes by trimming off the stems around the stem if needed. Cut off most of the stem leaving about 1 inch on the aritchoke. Slice the top tip of the artichoke, and trim the rest of the stems with kitchen shears if needed.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and place the prepared artichokes in the water. Boil for 25-30 minutes. Carefully remove the artichokes from the boiling water.
Slice each artichoke in half and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy choke from the center. Immediately rub the entire artichoke with the sliced lemon wedges to prevent discoloration.
Drizzle both sides of the artichoke generously with olive oil. It helps to get it inside the crevices. Season with salt and pepper.
Place artichokes with the sliced side faced down onto the basket of the air fryer.
Select the air fryer temperature to be 340 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook for 10 minutes. Open the basket, flip the artichokes, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Adjust the time depending on the size of the artichoke. Test for doneness and continue to cook until tender. If it darkens too quickly, slightly lower the temperature of your air fryer.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
