These artichoke balls are a tasty and unique party snack that will wow your guests! They’re crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, making them an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

For the Artichoke Balls

1 can artichokes, drained
2 cups Progresso Italian bread crumbs
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
6 tablespoons olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Blend the ingredients: In a food processor, combine the artichokes, 1½ cups of bread crumbs, egg, chopped garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

🥄 Make sure the artichokes are well-drained! Any excess liquid can make the mixture too wet to form balls properly.

Refrigerate the mixture: Process until well blended, then refrigerate the mixture overnight. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Form the balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into balls about the size of cocktail meatballs.
Coat and chill: Roll each ball in the remaining ½ cup of bread crumbs to coat. Refrigerate again until you're ready to serve.

❄️ This step can help your artichoke balls maintain their shape while baking, leading to a perfectly crispy exterior!

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the coated artichoke balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with marinara sauce, ranch, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color! 🌿

Variations

Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture for a spicy twist! 🌶️
Herb Lovers: Incorporate finely chopped fresh herbs like basil or oregano for added freshness.
Cheesy Delight: Swap out Parmesan for shredded mozzarella for an extra cheesy experience.

Serves: 40 Enjoy these delightful bites at your next gathering or as a fun snack any day! 🎉
