Ingredients
  

  • 2 large artichokes, trimmed and cut in half
  • 1 small lemon, cut into quarters
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Fine salt and black pepper
  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about 1 tablespoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dairy or unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 garlic clove, grated or minced

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
  2. Prepare the artichokes by trimming and cutting them in half, then removing the fuzzy choke. Rub with lemon to prevent browning.
  3. Drizzle artichokes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut side down in the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. While artichokes cook, combine Greek yogurt, feta cheese, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, milk, and garlic for the dip. Season to taste.
  5. Serve the crispy artichokes with the creamy feta dip.

Notes

- For the best texture, ensure your artichokes are thoroughly trimmed, removing all tough outer leaves and the fuzzy choke. This guarantees a tender eating experience.
- To prevent browning, rub the cut surfaces of the artichokes immediately with lemon quarters. I've found this simple step makes a big difference in maintaining their appealing color.
- Doneness test: An artichoke is perfectly cooked when a leaf can be easily pulled from the base and the heart can be pierced with a paring knife. The internal temperature for cooked vegetables isn't typically measured, but aim for tenderness.
