Crispy Artichoke Hearts with Quick Caper Aioli

This coming Sunday the culmination of a half year of American football season will come to a close when two teams battle it out in the Super Bowl. (And yes, I looked it up; a football season is exactly 26 weeks long.)

While not a football fan especially, I am a huge fan of San Francisco and our beloved 49ers will be fighting for the title of Super Bowl Champion. I also happen to be a fan of any event where food plays a prominent role.

While planning a menu of snacks for this occasion, I thought it only fitting to include a gluten free recipe which gives a nod to the San Francisco Bay area. I figure Crispy Artichoke Hearts should do it. Just south of San Francisco is Monterey; the artichoke capitol of the world.

These artichoke hearts are baked, not fried – while I love fried artichoke hearts, they require standing over a stove carefully watching making sure they are cooked perfectly. Not ideal when trying to watch the game and prepare snacks at the same time.

You can prepare these ahead, pop them into the oven a bit before serving and then all you have to do is put them on platter and allow them to be devoured.

The coating is a combination of gluten free panko style bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning; crispy, crunchy and delicious. Serve these with a quick caper aioli; sophisticated yet dead simple dipping sauce. (To adapt this recipe to dairy free, just swap out nutritional yeast for the Parmesan and omit the salt.)

If you are rooting for San Francisco to take the title this Sunday, I’m with you! If not, then I hope you enjoy the game (and these snacks) anyway.

At the risk of alienating half the country, may I just say “Go Niners!”
