Artichoke Hearts Recipes

Artichoke hearts are a versatile pantry ingredient with a tender texture and mild, slightly nutty flavor. Canned or jarred artichoke hearts are already trimmed and cooked, making them an easy shortcut for fast weeknight meals.

Use them to add depth to creamy dips, baked pastas, flatbreads, grain bowls, salads, and Mediterranean-style chicken or seafood dishes. Marinated artichoke hearts bring extra herb and vinegar flavor, while plain canned artichokes are ideal when you want more control over seasoning.

For the best texture, drain artichoke hearts well before cooking and pat them dry if roasting, sautéing, or adding to pizza. Their subtle flavor pairs especially well with lemon, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, spinach, tomatoes, and fresh herbs.
