How to Make Baby Artichokes

  1. Rinse 1 pound of baby artichokes under cold, running water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 quarts of water with the juice of 1 lemon.
  3. Submerge artichokes in the lemon water as you trim them to prevent browning.
  4. Cut off stems and the top 1/3 of artichoke petals.
  5. Using your thumb, bend back 3-4 artichoke petals at a time until they snap off. Continue around the artichoke until only pale yellow leaves remain.
  6. Cut each artichoke into quarters.
  7. Fill a deep fryer or a deep 3-quart saucepan with at least 3 inches of oil.
  8. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  9. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  10. Pour 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs into a pie plate or shallow dish.
  11. Drain the artichoke quarters well.
  12. Dip each artichoke quarter in the egg mixture, then dredge in panko crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  13. Carefully add the coated artichoke quarters to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for approximately 2 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy.
  14. Remove the artichokes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  15. Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!
