How to Make Baby Artichokes
- Rinse 1 pound of baby artichokes under cold, running water.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 quarts of water with the juice of 1 lemon.
- Submerge artichokes in the lemon water as you trim them to prevent browning.
- Cut off stems and the top 1/3 of artichoke petals.
- 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.
- Cut each artichoke into quarters.
- Fill a deep fryer or a deep 3-quart saucepan with at least 3 inches of oil.
- Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Pour 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs into a pie plate or shallow dish.
- Drain the artichoke quarters well.
- Dip each artichoke quarter in the egg mixture, then dredge in panko crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- 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.
- Remove the artichokes from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy!
