- Slice the tender artichokes in half, then use a spoon to remove the fuzzy part in the center of each half.
- Heat up frying oil to 400F.
- Fry in batches of 2-3 halves for 6-8 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to place on a paper towel lined wire rack to drain any excess oils.
- (Optional) Fry a second time for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.
To Make the Sauce / To Serve:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Serve with the fried artichokes warm garnished with freshly grated parmesan.
