---
Method:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Artichoke Hearts:
Pat the drained artichoke hearts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Leave in fridge over night to dry further.
In a mixing bowl, toss the artichoke hearts, carrots with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using).
Add the breadcrumbs and toss to coat the artichoke hearts evenly.
3. Roast the Artichokes and Carrots
Spread the breadcrumb-coated artichoke hearts in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the artichokes and carrots and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
4. Prepare the Maple Garlic Dijon Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (if using), and minced garlic.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble and Serve:
Transfer the roasted artichoke hearts to a serving dish.
Drizzle generously with the maple garlic Dijon dressing.
Serve warm as a flavorful and crunchy side dish or appetizer.
Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and crunchy textures!
