Kosher Salt and Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
1Tbsp. Chopped Parsley
Cooking Spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet covered with tin foil with cooking spray. (for easy cleanup)
Mix the Panko, Italian breadcrumbs and cheese in a bowl.
Mix the artichoke hearts (that have been patted dry with paper towels) with olive oil. Toss to coat completely. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Dip the artichoke hearts in the breadcrumb mixture pressing the crumbs so they stick and place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the breaded artichokes with more cooking spray to help them get golden.
Bake until the crumbs are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Turn them over once so they are browned on all sides. Arrange the artichokes on a serving platter with the marinara sauce on the side. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and more grated cheese. If you are serving this as a starter, this will serve 2 – 4 nice size portions. If serving on a buffet or as a passed appetizer, serve with cocktail toothpicks. Enjoy.
