Artichoke hearts air-fry at 380 °F (193 °C) for about 10 minutes, shaking once halfway, until crisp at the edges and golden. Use canned or thawed frozen hearts, pat them very dry, toss with oil and seasoning, and spread them out so they crisp instead of steaming.

How to tell it’s done

The hearts are golden and crisp at the edges, tender inside. Pale, wet-looking hearts mean they weren't dried enough or the basket was crowded.

Step-by-step method

  1. 1

    Prep

    Bring ingredients close to room temperature. Toss with a little oil so the edges crisp and brown.

  2. 2

    Season

    Season with garlic powder, grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, lemon.

  3. 3

    Load

    Arrange about 1 lb of artichoke hearts, serving 3–4. for best convection airflow.

  4. 4

    Cook

    Set the air fryer to 380 °F (193 °C) and cook for 10 minutes total, shaking once at 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Check & rest

    Check the visual doneness cue and serve immediately for best texture.

  6. 6

    Store

    Best fresh; refrigerate up to 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer.

Watch out for

  • Pat canned or thawed hearts very dry — surface moisture steams and prevents crisping.
  • Spread them in a single layer so they brown instead of steaming.
  • Shake the basket halfway for even color.
  • Toss in Parmesan in the last couple of minutes so it doesn't burn.

FAQ about artichoke hearts in an air fryer

What temperature should I cook artichoke hearts at in an air fryer?
Cook artichoke hearts at 380 °F (193 °C). The convection air at this temperature cooks the centre evenly while still browning the surface.
How long do artichoke hearts take in an air fryer?
Artichoke hearts take 10 minutes total at 380 °F (193 °C). Shake the basket once at 5 minutes so both sides cook evenly.
Do you need to shake artichoke hearts in an air fryer?
Yes — shake the basket once at 5 minutes. Loose pieces (artichoke hearts) settle into the basket and the bottom layer stays pale unless you redistribute them halfway through.
Do you need to preheat the air fryer for artichoke hearts?
Preheating is optional for artichoke hearts — most modern air fryers reach temperature in under 2 minutes and the food's total cook time already accounts for the ramp-up. If you do preheat, reduce the total time by 1–2 minutes and check earlier than usual.
