Air fryer roasted artichokes are a flavorful and elegant appetizer. And, they're so simple to make. In fact, it only takes 15 minutes to roast your artichokes to perfection in the air fryer. Serve with a vegan garlic aioli dip for the ultimate vegan side dish.
Rinse the artichoke and remove the tough outer leaves. Using a serrated knife, cut a third of the artichoke head off. Trim the thorny upper portion of the leaves off with kitchen scissors. Cut the stem off, leaving a small portion intact. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise, and scoop the fuzzy center out with a spoon.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the artichokes and brush with olive oil. Rub the olive oil in with your hands. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the artichoke halves in the air fryer and roast for 12-15 minutes.
Notes
It's not necessary to parboil globe artichokes before roasting them in the air fryer. Par boiling is only necessary to reduce cooking time in the oven.
