Baked artichoke hearts with seasoned breadcrumbs is the easy side dish I make when I’m craving stuffed artichokes but don’t have the time to make them. Canned artichoke hearts are topped with a mixture of white wine, garlic, lemon, parsley, and breadcrumbs and baked until golden. Best served alongside chicken, or pork, baked artichoke hearts also make a fantastic Thanksgiving side that everyone loves!

I just love artichokes.
Growing up, my grandmother would often make classic stuffed artichokes or fried artichoke hearts, but when she needed to hit the easy button, she would make baked artichoke hearts with breadcrumbs.
And I too have adopted this as a simple side dish that my family loves.
I make this often, especially during the week when time is less abundant. I’ll serve it alongside some grilled chicken thighs, chicken cutlets, or even stuffed pork loin.
Baked artichoke hearts are also a perfect Thanksgiving side dish because it’s easy, full of flavor, and even the pickiest guests will eat them.
No matter when these are served, there is always one thing that is certain – there are never any leftovers because they are really that good!
Canned or frozen artichoke hearts?
Having made this recipe using both types of artichoke hearts, I can share that I prefer the canned hearts.
While both types have their own benefits, I find that the texture of the canned version holds up better for baked artichoke hearts.
The frozen can be mushy and require more prep.
For example, if you are using frozen artichoke hearts, you’ll need to make sure that they are defrosted and dried before using them for this recipe.
Canned artichokes should be rinsed of their solution, and dried, but there is no defrost time needed.
I also like the fact that canned artichoke hearts are shelf-stable, leaving the room in my freezer for other things, like gelato or pizza dough.
I also used canned artichoke hearts in my recipe for pasta with artichokes and breadcrumbs.
How to make it
Each number corresponds to the numbered written steps below.
- Preheat oven to 375f and set rack to the middle level. Mince 3 cloves of garlic and mix with a 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Mince a 1/4 cup of parsley and grate a 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 cup dry white wine (pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or chardonnay will work). Mix well.
- Add half of the garlic oil to a 9 by 13″ baking dish and spread it around.
- Place the rinsed and drained artichoke hearts into the baking dish. Top with the remaining garlic oil and sprinkle a 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned breadcrumbs on top of the artichoke hearts. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked all the way through and the breadcrumbs are browned. For more color, optionally broil for 45-60 seconds. but watch carefully to prevent burning!
Variations
One of the things I love most about cooking, is the ability to make a dish your own simply by adding a few other ingredients.
Some of my favorite additions, or variations of baked artichoke hearts include:
- Pignoli aka Pine nuts – Lightly toasted pignoli complement the flavors in this dish perfectly.
- Raisins – Raisins add sweetness and a Sicilian vibe to this dish.
- Olives – Adding some black olives would give this additional Mediterranean flavor.
- Sun dried tomatoes – Chopped sun dried tomatoes would add depth of flavor, and texture.
- Lemon zest – I did not include zest in my recipe, just lemon juice, but if you love lemon, adding zest would be a great addition.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375f and set to middle rack. Mix seasoned breadcrumbs ingredients together and set aside.
- Mix the minced garlic and olive oil together in a bowl. Spoon half of the garlic oil into a large baking dish and spread it around to evenly distribute.
- Next, place the artichoke hearts into the baking dish and top them with the remaining garlic oil. Sprinkle the hot red pepper all over the hearts.
- Evenly sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs and bake for 15-20 minutes or until hot all the way through and the breadcrumbs have browned. For more color, the artichoke hearts can be broiled for the last 45-60 seconds but watch carefully. Enjoy!
Notes
- Canned artichoke hearts are preferred, but frozen can also be used. If using frozen make sure they are completely defrosted, drained, and dried before using.
- For added browning, broil right at the end. Watch carefully because the breadcrumbs can burn quickly.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven at 325f until warm or in the microwave.

I was looking for something different to do with Artichokes as a side for dinner tonight. I came across this. Omg this was absolutely amazing. I added sun-dried tomatoes. So easy and tasty. Thank you for this. Already shared with my sister 😊
We’re so happy you liked it, Deidra!
How can I do this with fresh artichoke hearts?
Hi Sarah, this recipe is written for canned artichoke hearts so we can’t say exactly what you’d need to do if using fresh, raw artichoke hearts, however, you could probably steam the fresh artichokes, remove the leaves, etc. in order to get to the hearts and then proceed with the recipe from there.
Too high in salt otherwise drlicios
Great but sodium concern
This recipe looks so easy and delicious! I am going to give it a try! Thank you Jim!
We hope you love it, Adeline!
Can I use
Marinated artichokes?
You can but you may want to rinse them off and dry them before using.
Love this. We made James’ stuffed artichokes recipe after our son bought us two artichokes and it was the best we had ever had in my 40 years of being married to my Italian-American wife from Buffalo! This casserole I have made twice and not one drop was wasted! Really outstanding! James sauce (gravy) and pizza recipes are authentic also! So glad I found this YouTube channel!!!
We’re so happy you enjoyed this recipe, Mitch!
I made this dish again for appetizers with cocktails last night. First made it on New Year’s Day. So delicious and popular with all my foodie friends. I used 4 cans because of the number of guests and added an extra quarter of ingredients. Great recipe. Thank you!
We’re so happy you enjoyed, Father!
Supposedly artichokes are super food for liver, I bought 4 cans of hearts, opened 1 can and plucked one heart from the can: disgusting! Didn’t know they need to be rinsed and dried. Hoping not to throw away the remaining 3 cans, I stumbled to your recipes and most excited to try tomorrow! All that’s lacking are bread crumbs and cheese – quick drive to grocery store. Thank you for your recipes!
Try buying the canned artichoke bottoms, stuff them with James’ breadcrumb mix and bake! Really terrific!
These are so good. Will definitely be going into rotation. We substituted gluten free panko and worked great! (We also doubled the garlic because we are garlic lovers)
Will probably also make these for the next holiday get together!
We’re so happy you enjoyed, Tuesday!
We are artichokes addicts and these are delicious! Very easy to put together. I use marinated artichoke hearts for more flavor, double the garlic and use chicken broth when I don’t have white wine. We have them at least once a week, sometimes more! Great recipe!
We’re happy you enjoyed!
Can I substitute chicken broth for the wine?
Yes, you can.
Delicious and tangy. I will add the piñon nuts next Time..
Did these for Xmas eve and now are a fave in our household. Delicious and so easy!
So happy to hear that, Emilie!
Delicious!!
So happy you enjoyed, Debbie!
I made this as a side for Christmas dinner, using the basic recipe. It was a little bland. I later added sun-dried tomatoes which gave it added flavor.
This is a great recipe! It is a must whenever I am asked to bring a dish. Disappears in an instant!
Thanks for a great recipe. I used the. Recommended 5 cans to serve 20 as part of a buffet. Got much praise even from a culinary arts teacher. Everyone enjoyed. Thanks again
