Baked Marinated Artichoke Hearts with Aioli

Crispy, a bit salty, a bit tangy, these herb marinated baked artichokes are an addictive appetizer. Eat them by themselves or dipped in aioli. Recipe idea from Epicurious. An immersion blender makes this the easiest aioli to make! Add different fresh herbs or spices to play with the flavor profile. Fresh basil, sriracha, lemon zest all make good additions.

Ingredients

Artichoke Hearts

24 ounces marinated artichoke hearts 2 12-ounce jars
2 tablespoons avocado oil

Aioli

1 egg
2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dijon optional
1 large garlic clove minced
1 cup avocado oil
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the Artichokes

Preheat the oven to 450ºF and grease a rimmed baking sheet with a bit of oil.
Drain artichoke hearts and toss them with the oil. Spread onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes, or until golden on the side in contact with the baking sheet. Flip and bake for another 10-20 minutes, or until golden on the second side.

For the Aioli

Make the aioli while the artichokes bake by placing the egg, lemon juice, dijon, garlic, and salt in the bottom of a jar that barely fits the head of an immersion blender.
Pour oil on top and let settle for one minute.
Place blender head in bottom of the jar and without moving the blender head, blend on high speed. As the mayo forms, tilt the head of the blender to incorporate the remaining oil, finally moving the head to incorporate any remaining at the top.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. The may will keep for one week in the refrigerator.

Notes

You can also use water packed artichoke hearts but season them with a tablespoon of lemon juice, a minced clove of garlic, a few fresh herbs of your choice, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
