This post is all about how to make Air Fryer Artichoke Bottoms.
One of the best things about this appetizer is that you’ll only need a can or two of artichoke bottoms and a few seasoning ingredients. The artichokes can be marinated with simple components most likely already in your kitchen pantry, saving you a trip to the store. While they taste perfectly delicious solo, making the mustard mayo dip adds a creamy dimension of flavor.

In case you are wondering where the bottom is located on an artichoke, it’s the base of the artichoke where the stem attaches to the heart. The bottoms are tender, meaty, and edible.

How To Make Air Fryer Artichoke Bottoms, Step-by-Step
Step 1: Open the can of artichoke bottoms and drain the brine. Carefully pat dry each artichoke bottom with paper towels.
Step 2: Place the bottoms in a bowl and add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and fresh chives. Use your hands or a spoon to ensure the ingredients are mixed and the bottoms are coated.
Step 3: Add the seasoned artichoke bottoms to an air fryer and cook them at 400 degrees F for 17 to 20 minutes. I baked mine for 20 minutes, and they were perfectly golden and slightly crisp.
Step 4: You can mix up the optional dipping sauce while waiting.
Step 5: Serve the bottoms immediately so they are still warm.
FAQs
Is it best to use canned artichokes or frozen ones?
I prefer the canned artichoke bottoms because the brine tastes slightly tangy and salty, adding flavor. Trader Joe’s sells frozen artichoke bottoms, which are also delicious, but you might want to squeeze some lemon juice on top before air-frying them.
