Fried artichoke hearts are a crispy, flavorful appetizer made by coating canned artichokes in seasoned breadcrumbs and frying them until golden.
Combine breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Open the can of artichoke hearts, drain them well and pat each heart dry with a paper towel.
Pour enough oil into a deep frying pan to submerge the artichoke hearts, then heat them over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Roll each artichoke heart in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks. Set them aside on a plate.
Carefully place the coated artichoke hearts into the hot oil, frying in small batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn them as needed.
