Frozen Artichoke Hearts, Roasted to Perfection!
The very best part of this recipe is that they’re simply made from bags of frozen artichoke hearts! Just buy a bag (or three!) of frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them (or don’t!), toss them in olive oil, and roast away in the oven.
I love this artichoke hearts recipe for a few reasons:
- No need to trim down whole artichokes. The hearts are even pre-cut for you!
- The hearts are much lower in carbs than the leaves. So much better for keto!
- My lemon garlic aioli dipping sauce takes these crispy artichokess to a whole other level of tasty!
Ingredient Notes
Frozen Artichoke Hearts: Trader Joe’s for sure always has frozen artichoke hearts. I’ve also found them at Whole Foods, and occasionally larger chain grocery stores like Safeway/Ralph’s/Von’s.
Mayo: For the lemon garlic aioli, you’ll need a mayonnaise base. I have the easiest homemade mayo recipe that you’ll love!
Recipe Step by Step
The secret to their crispiness is to roast them on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. This way, any excess moisture can evaporate rather than pool under the artichokes, making them soggy.
With the wire rack, this artichoke hearts recipe gets so crispy and you would never guess they started out as frozen!
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy cleanup), then set on the wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, add the frozen artichoke hearts. (They can be either frozen or thawed!) Drizzle on the olive oil and toss to coat.
- Arrange the frozen artichoke hearts in an even layer on the wire rack. I like to do them leaf side UP, the layers of leaves taste so much better and crispier! Season with salt + pepper.
- Roast for 40-50 minutes (if thawed) or 60-65 minutes (if frozen) until crispy and golden brown. No need to turn the artichokes while roasting.
Easy Artichoke Dipping Sauce
Lemon Garlic Aioli
Artichokes pair so well with dipping sauces. My lemon garlic aioli is a super yummy artichoke dipping sauce, with a base of mayonnaise, made infinitely better by adding in some grated garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. It’s flavorful, and the perfect pairing for artichokes.
- In a small mixing bowl, add all ingredients and stir to combine.
- The lemon garlic aioli will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Use it for your artichokes, and so much more!
Pro Tip: If you’re looking to make this dipping sauce vegan, sub the mayo for vegan mayonnaise! This way, your Lemon Garlic Aioli will be vegan-friendly and still delicious!
Tips & Tricks
Vegan/Plant-Based: Use vegan mayonnaise in the lemon garlic aioli to make this recipe plant-based and vegan-friendly.
Wire Rack: I prefer roasting these on a wire rack since it allows the air to circulate all around the artichokes and get them crispier. This is the exact sheet pan with a wire rack that I have and love!
Leftovers: I love eating the leftovers cold. If you want to warm and crisp them up again, roast them in the oven at 425ºF for about 15-20 minutes.
Jarred Artichoke Hearts in Oil: This artichoke hearts recipe also works with ones jarred in oil. The oil allows them to crisp up. Costco has a great deal on these! This can be found at most stores. Many jarred artichokes in oil have a seasoning in them, which adds more flavor to the artichokes. They may not need salt, depending on the ones you buy.
Canned Artichoke Hearts: This DOES NOT work well with canned artichokes. They’re too wet and don’t crisp up. Plus, the brine in the can gives them an olive-type taste, rather than an artichoke heart taste. This is my least favorite substitute option.
FAQs
You can serve these as an appetizer, or as a side dish. Everyone will love them. Everyone will demand to know how you made these so amazing and crispy. You will be a hero! I like to serve them warm with my lemon garlic aioli. The perfect pairing!
You can totally make these in your air fryer! I would cook them at 400ºF for about 10-15 minutes until crispy, shaking the basket every few minutes.

Better then candy! I make 2 bags and they’re gone within minutes between 4 of us. I used myer lemon last time I made her aioli. This is a KEEPER and we make on holidays!
I am so glad my roasted artichokes taste better than candy to you Kathy! That just makes my day. I always serve them and they tend to be the first thing everyone devours.
These were amazing!! I thought I was making these as a snack to eat throughout the week, but I finished half the pan before I could move it to the container. I just dropped off a bag of them at my moms so she can make them herself. I added a touch of parmesan and they were amazing.
I am so happy you liked my roasted artichokes Caroline! I find them hard to resist too! I love that you dropped off a bag for your mom! What a nice daughter you are!
Hi! So, I know your recipe says that canned wont work, but I tried it anyway :) I used the canned from trader Joe’s, drained really well then lightly squeezed with a towel. Sprayed with avocado oil, s&p…and then this is where it is different…Turned the oven to 425 and put them in right away. The warm up time dried them out and then once it was to temp I did 10 minutes. Not super crispy, but crispy and still tender! The ones from TJs are in water mostly so they dont have a britney taste.
Cant wait to try these with frozen ones!
Thank you so much for sharing how you made the roasted artichokes with canned artichokes Amanda. That sure is helpful, especially these days when we are all having to make do with what we have available. I am so happy you liked them.
Oh my yum! These are soooo good and soooo easy!!!
I am so happy you liked my roasted artichokes Colleen! I am glad they were easy to make and the taste was good! Makes me very happy.
We make these weekly with the jarred artichokes From Costco!! (Limited frozen options in Alaska, no Trader Joe’s) and WOW it’s an absolute favorite! But I just put a batch of these on my pellet grill and they’re insane!!
I am so glad you are enjoying my roasted artichokes Jill! I also make them all the time. Putting them on a grill is a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing!
Loved this! Had a jar of artichokes from Costco just sitting in the pantry and didn’t know what to do with them! Perfect!
I sure hope you enjoy the roasted artichokes Jennifer! They are such a fun appetizer or side dish.
Reminds me of the fried artichokes I had in Madrid!! I used the marinated artichokes from Costco and cooked them in my air fryer!! So perfect. Thank you!
Oh my gosh, now you make me want to go to Madrid just for fried artichokes Anna. That sounds delicious! I am so glad you liked these. It’s fantastic to know that the marinated ones worked well in the air fryer. Thank you so much for the feedback!

This recipe is FANTASTIC and so so easy! I have a hard time eating vegetables but I could easily eat this side any time of the day. I have tried it using the artichokes marinated in oil from Costco and while they’re still good, frozen is best because the entire heart gets crispy!! I want to have these on hand all the time.
I am so glad you liked my roasted artichokes Megan! I was also amazed at how tasty they are. I think they make the perfect side dish. I also prefer the frozen to the oil packed from Costco. The crispier the better!
Yummy snack!
