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.

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.
