INGREDIENTS
| For Artichokes: | |
|---|---|
| 2 cans | quartered artichokes, drained |
| olive oil | |
| 3-4 tsp | Old Bay seasoning |
| chopped fresh parsley | |
| For Lemon Whipped Feta | |
|---|---|
| 1/4 cup | mayonnaise |
| 1/4 cup | Athenos Whipped Feta Dip and Spread |
| 2 tbsp | freshly chopped parsley |
| 2 tsp | Dijon mustard |
| 1/2 tsp | garlic powder |

Method
- Prepare the lemon whipped feta: add mayonnaise, whipped feta, parsley, dijon mustard, garlic powder, lemon zest and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend until creamy and combined. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until artichokes are finished.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 F. Pat artichokes dry with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with old bay seasoning. Place artichokes into the air fryer basket ensuring enough space between them to brown evenly (fry in batches if needed).
- Air fry for five minutes, check and turn artichokes and continue to air fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Sprinkle artichokes with fresh parsley and serve with lemon whipped feta.
