Ingredients

For the artichokes:

2 artichokes
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lemon

For the aioli:

½ cup mayonnaise or plant-based mayo; such as: Follow Your Heart brand.
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon cracked peppercorn
1 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Artichokes

Before cooking your artichokes in the air fryer, start by trimming the artichoke. Then, cut the heart in half and remove the hairs in the center. After that, coat the inside of the heart in lemon juice to prevent it from browning.

Step 2: Season the Artichoke Hearts

To get your artichokes ready for the air fryer, first brush the inside and outside of each piece with olive oil. After that, season each piece with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Air Fry the Artichokes

Place each piece of the artichoke heart in the basket of your air fryer. Cook the hearts at 350 degrees for four minutes, then remove the basket and flip each piece over. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 4 minutes.

Step 4: Mix the Aioli

While the vegetables are cooking, mix the aioli by adding the mayonnaise, minced garlic, cracked peppercorn, dill, paprika, and lemon juice to a small bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they’re well combined. Serve the sauce with the cooked artichokes for dipping.
