Sorry, I am about to yell at your eyes…
THESE WHOLE30 + KETO ROASTED ARTICHOKES HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE!!!
I’m serious. They’re from frozen artichoke hearts (hello easy!). It’s an appetizer or side dish that literally every single diet can love (hello whole30, keto, paleo, AIP + vegans!). And, they’re less than 3 net carbs per serving! (hello good macros!)
Whole30 + Keto Roasted Artichoke Hearts (From Frozen!)
The very best part of these roasted artichoke hearts is that they’re from frozen! As in, you just buy a bag of frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them (or even put them on fully frozen!), toss them in olive oil, and roast away.
No need to trim down whole artichokes. The hearts are even pre-cut for you! The hearts are really the best part anyway. Plus, the hearts are much lower in carbs than the leaves. So better for keto!
Look how crispy they get in the oven!
How To Get Crispy Roasted Artichoke Hearts
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 pooling under the artichokes and making them soggy.
I swear to you on everything, these get so crispy and you would never guess they started out as frozen!
Sadly, the same is not true if using canned artichokes. They don’t crisp up, and have a super briney taste. I DO NOT recommend substituting canned artichokes.
Serving Whole30 + Keto Roasted Artichoke Hearts
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 amazing, crispy artichoke hearts. You will be a hero!
I like to serve them warm with my lemon garlic aioli. The perfect pairing!

Whole30 + Keto Roasted Artichoke Hearts (From Frozen!)
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 35 mins
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Ingredients
Roasted Artichoke Hearts
(2) 12-ounce bags frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
2 teaspoons salt + pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise (link to homemade, it’s the best!)
zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, grated or finely minced
1/4 teaspoon salt + pepper (or more to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wire rack insert with parchment paper (for easy cleanup).
In a medium bowl, gently toss the artichoke hearts with olive oil.
Arrange the artichoke hearts in an even layer on the wire rack. I like to do them leave side UP, the layers of leaves taste so much better crispier! Season with salt + pepper.
Roast for 45 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. No need to turn the artichokes while roasting.
While the artichokes are roasting, make the lemon garlic aioli by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stirring.
Serve the artichoke hearts warm with the lemon garlic aioli dipping sauce.
Leftovers will keep for 1 week in an airtight container.
Notes
You can find frozen artichokes at Trader Joes, Whole Foods, and larger chain grocery stores like Safeway/Ralph’s/Von’s.
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.
Use a vegan mayonnaise to make these vegan!
I’ve even made these with the artichoke hearts fully frozen! Still works! Just takes about 60-65 minutes in the oven.

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!!!
★★★★★

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!

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!

★★★★★
So glad you made this Sam! I am thrilled you liked it. They do taste like chips!

Hi Jacqui – Thanks so much for letting me know these worked well in the air fryer! I am so happy they turned out so good for you!
These are so delicious! You are a genius! Keep the easy and delicious whole30 recipes coming!
★★★★★
Artichoke hearts, by far, are one of my favorite appetizers/snacks. Whenever a restaurant offers them, I order them (and it’s usually the more pricey appetizer!), so I’m excited to have these as my go to for when I’m feeling like I need a treat before a meal!! The best part, the prep work is so minimal!! And when doing a Whole30 or just trying to eat right in general, no body has time for
More dishes and more kitchen duties! They are seriously SO good!!
I am so glad you like these Michelle! Isn’t it great to make them at home? They do make the BEST treat!
This appetizer has become a stable for game day! It’s so easy too!! Everyone in the family LOVES them and I love a healthier option! Thank you for another DELICIOUS recipe, Natalie!
★★★★★
I am so pleased this has become a regular appetizer in your house. That makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing Lisa.
Not usually a big fan of artichoke hearts, but cooking them this way is FANTASTIC! It’s easy and you don’t have to even defrost them (at least I didn’t) and they turned out super crispy. And they reheat really well which is always so nice!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked these Jocelyn!
These are phenomenal. So easy to make from frozen but taste like something you’d order at a restaurant for an appetizer. My husband puts the aioli on EVERYTHING. it’s the best on a burger but makes this veg delicious too.
★★★★★
I am so pleased that you like these!
Quick, easy and delicious recipe! Lemon Garlic Aioli is a huge hit in my house!
★★★★★
So glad you liked this Megan!
DELICIOUS! I love these so much as a side dish to any protein. Question though- how do you recommend reheating leftovers?! Microwave, cast iron? Thank you!
★★★★★
So glad you liked these Polly. I recommend reheating them in the oven. They reheat fairly quickly. When I make these for my family we NEVER have leftovers!
These were so easy, and delicious. My idea of a perfect recipe!
★★★★★
So glad you liked them!
Not a big fan of artichokes but these were great. Also the garlic aioli was super great! Hubby approved too!
★★★★★
I have converted so many people who ‘think’ they don’t like artichokes with this recipe! Glad you liked it.
My dad works at Trader Joe’s (they sell frozen artichokes) and he tells everyone about this recipe! It’s so good! We make these at least once a week, you might too, they are addicting!
I’m always in charge of appetizers for the holidays so these will be my new go to!
★★★★★
I am so glad your Dad shares these with shoppers at Trader Joes! What a lucky guy, he works at my favorite store!
So easy and they taste great! Going to make again soon. :)
★★★★★
So thrilled you liked these Vanessa! Isn’t it great how easy they are to make?
I made these for my parents as an appetizer and everyone LOVED them. They ate them up so fast I really needed two bags. I baked them from frozen, too, and they were perfect!
★★★★★
I am so glad these were a hit! I just had a dinner party last night and made these. I love how easy they are and everyone just gobbles them up!
I saw so many people making this recipe and raving about it that I I sent my husband to Trader Joe’s just to get the artichoke hearts and this recipe did not disappoint. These are the fastest, easiest, yummiest artichokes ever. We will definitely be repeat offenders on this one.
★★★★★
Absolutely delicious! Easy to follow instructions. Pair it with the aoil and your taste buds will be in heaven!
★★★★★
Thank you Amanda!
Love these!!!! I literally drive an hour to the closest Trader Joe’s just to get frozen artichokes!! None of my stores near me had them frozen.
★★★★★
I am so glad you like these. My goodness your nearest Trader Joe’s is one hour away? Gosh I don’t know what I would do!
I could not believe how delicious these were! I made only one bag to make sure I didn’t screw up the recipe and boy was that a mistake! I could of eaten them all by myself. The garlic aioli mayo is perfect to go with it.
★★★★★
Aren’t they delicious Shire? I have learned to roast 2 bags at least! They go so quick!
These are so delicious that I immediately regretted making only one bag instead of two! They crisp up so well and the aoli pairs so perfectly with them! My husband and I finished these in about 20 minutes!
★★★★★
Mindy – I am thrilled that you and your husband enjoyed these! Who would think that something so easy to make could be so tasty? I also love how crispy they get.
These are sooooo good! The only mistake I made was only buying ONE bag– my family of 4 devoured them in minutes.
★★★★★
I have learned to keep several bags in my freezer so I can make them all the time!
This recipe is amazing! Move over boring crudite, crunchy artichoke hearts are where it’s at!!
★★★★★
Rose, I am so glad you enjoyed the Roasted Artichoke Hearts! It’s amazing how easy they are to make and yet so tasty. Thank you so much for letting me know you liked the recipe. This makes my day.
The only time I had Ever had artichokes was in spinach and artichoke dip. I decided to these a shot after you tested the jarred artichokes! These were so delicious and crispy. I could have ate so many more of these
★★★★★
I was so excited when I tested the Roasted Artichokes with jarred artichokes and it worked! They are so crispy and tasty! My family enjoys them as a snack or as a vegetable side dish. Artichokes are a super food that is loaded with great nutrition so you can feel good about making them all the time.
My first time eating artichokes, and I practically ran to Trader Joe’s to buy more. These are so good! Especially with the dipping sauce. I am going to try them with jarred artichokes next just because I shop at Costco more often than TJs.
★★★★★
I have tried the recipe with jarred artichokes and the good news is they are just as good as the frozen ones.
