How To Make Trader Joe’s Roasted Artichoke Hearts Recipe
A step-by-step guide to this wonderfully simple and delicious side dish.
- Prep the Oven and Artichokes: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Drain the artichoke hearts in a colander and rinse them well to remove the brine. Gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season and Toss: In a large bowl, gently mix the drained artichoke hearts with the quartered garlic cloves and the olive oil.
- Roast Until Golden: Pour the artichoke mixture onto the prepared baking tray and spread it out in a single layer. Roast for about 1 hour, tossing halfway through, until the artichokes are golden brown and have crispy edges.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle the hot artichokes with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with the fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For the crispiest, most flavorful roasted artichokes.
- How to get them extra crispy? The most important step is to dry the rinsed artichoke hearts as much as possible before tossing them with oil. A single layer on the baking sheet is also crucial; if they are crowded, they will steam instead of roast.
- Can I use frozen artichoke hearts? Yes. Thaw them completely, then gently press them between paper towels to remove as much excess water as you can before proceeding with the recipe.
- Can I add other seasonings? Absolutely! This is a great base recipe. Try adding a sprinkle of dried Italian herbs, red pepper flakes for a kick of heat, or some grated Parmesan cheese for the last 10 minutes of roasting.
- Can I make these in an air fryer? Yes, an air fryer is perfect for this! Toss the prepared artichokes as directed and cook them at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket a few times, until golden and crispy.

How To Store Roasted Artichoke Hearts
Keeping your delicious leftovers fresh.
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: For the best results and to restore their crispiness, reheat the artichokes on a baking sheet in a hot oven (400°F) or an air fryer for 5-10 minutes.

FAQs
Yes, this is a very important step. Rinsing the artichoke hearts removes the salty, metallic taste of the brine they are packed in, allowing their natural, delicate flavor to shine through.
Soggy artichokes are almost always the result of not drying them enough after rinsing, or overcrowding the pan. Any excess moisture will turn to steam in the oven and prevent them from getting that delicious crispy texture.
It’s not recommended for this recipe. Marinated artichoke hearts are already packed in oil and seasoned, which can cause them to become greasy and burn in the hot oven. This recipe is best with artichokes packed in water or a simple brine.
