Crispy Artichoke Hearts with Horseradish Sauce
Ok so last night I made Crispy Artichoke Hearts with Horseradish Sauce for dinner. I didn’t plan on them being an appetizer or side dish specifically, to be completely honest, I just made them so I could take a picture of them for this post. I made the over the weekend for the first time on a whim and they were so delicious and felt that I NEEDED to share this simple & healthy recipe with all of you ASAP….
The funny part is that when Ray came home from work, he started snacking on the leftovers on the cookie sheet while I was taking the photo. and he LOVED them. Ray likes most things but artichokes aren’t really his favorite until NOW! He kept raving about how good they were and he ate most of them, which even surprised me.
So, of course I’m sharing the recipe with you because Crispy Artichoke Hearts with Horseradish Sauce are just THAT GOOD. Seriously delicious.
And I’m not going to lie, I’m making a double batch for dinner tonight.. and am planning to My Addictively Delicious Horseradish Sauce as a drizzle over leftover shredded venison neck roast in lettuce wraps too.
The artichoke hearts are seasoned and crispy, delicious on their own… but… BUT when you dip them into the horseradish sauce BOOM! POW! it really is a flavor explosion in your mouth 🙂
I’m sure you’ll have the same thoughts as we did, what else can we put this sauce on? We’re betting it would be delicious on Grain Free Battered Onion Rings (recipe is in my cookbook Without Grain) or even as a dip for veggies!
I can’t wait for you to try these and let me know what you think!

CRISPY ARTICHOKE HEARTS WHAT?! How have I never thought of this? Artichoke hearts are one of my favorite things to cook with, usually I just steam them. This was a nice new way to try my favorite food, thanks for sharing!

I recommend my horseradish sauce, just click the links to it in this post!
HI Hayley, The link for the horseradish sauce doesn’t work….
I have been making these on a regular basis since this recipe was first published. I LOVE chips and dip, french fries, etc. Basically anything crunchy that gets dipped into something yummy. These are no exception! Since I try really hard to stay lower carb, these are my go-to for a satisfying crunch and dip.
Anyway, until today I’ve always made them in the oven, but on a whim I tossed them in my air fryer and I think they were even better! Because the air flows around them and through the layers (leaves??), the result was more consistently golden and crispy. I did the prep-work the same, then put them in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 330 degrees, then I bumped them to 350-370 for another 7-10 minutes, the whole time checking and tossing them every 5 or so minutes. Air fryers can be different though, so if you go this route, monitor them closely. 🙂 Oh, I started with frozen…
Hayley – thanks so much for posting such wonderful recipes! And your no-nonsense approach to pretty much everything makes you my favorite food/health blogger to follow!! <3
Exactly what I was wondering! ?
The artichokes in the photo appear to be artichoke leaves, not just the flat heart circle.
they are artichoke quarters, not just the flat hearts. That’s how they are most frequently sold frozen.
