If you're looking for an appetizer that is both healthy and decadent, look no further. These Rose's Baked Artichoke Hearts are crispy, savory, and perfect for impressing your guests. Similar to a gratin, this dish features a delicious breadcrumb and cheese topping that blends perfectly with the lemon and garlic dressing of the artichoke hearts. They will go perfectly with a cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Note that the texture of artichokes is quite creamy and filling, so it may not be ideal as a first-course dish.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan and pecorino cheeses, herbs, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper to taste.
3.In a second bowl, add the artichoke hearts and 1/3 cup olive oil along with lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Toss to evenly coat.
4.Set aside 1/2 cup of the breadcrumb mixture. Take the remaining breadcrumb mixture and coat the artichoke hearts with it. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs to prevent them from burning.
5.Arrange the artichokes in an oiled 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs on top.
6.Drizzle the remaining oil over the artichokes.
7.Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and serve.
