Crispy Artichoke Bites | INCREDIBLE 10 Minute Tapas Recipe

These Spanish-Style Crispy Artichoke Bites are seriously addictive. They’re packed with simple yet delicious flavors, made with basic pantry staples and all done in about 10 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish, and always next to a couple of cold Spanish beers for the ultimate treat.

I served these crispy artichoke bites next to a simple lemon garlic aioli. Made with just mayonnaise, garlic, lemon and extra virgin olive oil. You can mix it up and add other ingredients to the aioli. Such as a little chili powder to add in some heat.

For the artichokes, I used a can of artichoke hearts in water. You can also use marinated artichoke hearts. Either way, make sure to drain them well and pat them completely dry. This way they can absorb all the flavors and end up with a light crispy texture.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You can prep the artichokes beforehand and add them to the fridge. They will hold for up to 3 days. Then just fry as stated in the recipe below. You can serve them warm or even at room temperature.
