Ingredients
Ingredients — Chargrilled Artichokes
12 oz chargrilled artichokes in oil, well drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped, plus extra for serving
1 small baguette, sliced and toasted into crostini, for serving
Ingredients — Whipped Goat Cheese
6 oz goat cheese, softened
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 small garlic clove
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1–2 tablespoons water, as needed
Instructions
1. Drain and season the artichokes
Drain the chargrilled artichokes, reserving about 3 tablespoons of the oil. Place the artichokes in an oven-safe dish and add the garlic, parsley and dill. Mix until evenly combined.
2. Air fry until golden
Air fry at 390°F for about 10 minutes, until the artichokes are browned and slightly crisp around the edges.
3. Make the whipped goat cheese
While the artichokes cook, add the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon zest, salt and water to a food processor. Blend until smooth, creamy and fluffy. The mixture should be spreadable rather than pourable.
4. Assemble and serve
Spread the whipped goat cheese across a serving platter. Spoon the warm chargrilled artichokes over the cheese. Finish with fresh herbs and extra dill, then arrange baguette crostini around the platter and serve while the artichokes are still warm.
Notes
Notes
Best Tip: Drain the artichokes thoroughly before air frying. Excess surface oil and moisture can prevent the edges from browning properly.
Doneness: Look for deeper golden-brown edges and small browned spots while keeping the centers tender.
Make Ahead: The whipped goat cheese can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. Cook the artichokes close to serving time for the best texture.
