Golden Baked Artichoke Cheese Bites
A creamy, savory, low-carb appetizer that tastes like a restaurant favorite—ready with just 4 simple ingredients!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
2 cans (14 oz each) artichoke hearts, well drained and halved
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any mild melting white cheese)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or shallow tray with foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Artichokes
Drain the artichoke hearts thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is important to help them roast instead of steam. Slice them in half if needed so they sit flat.
3. Make the Creamy Topping
In a bowl, mix the sour cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan until smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble
Arrange the artichoke halves cut-side up on the tray. Spoon a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each piece.
5. Bake to Perfection
Place in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden, bubbly, and slightly crispy.
Serving Ideas
Serve these bites hot, straight from the tray while the cheese is still melty and irresistible. They pair beautifully with:
A fresh green salad or sliced cucumbers for balance
Grilled chicken or steak for a satisfying low-carb meal
Marinara or ranch dip for extra flavor
For parties, add toothpicks or small forks to make them easy to grab and enjoy.
Pro Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the cheese mix.
If you like a crispier top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Make sure the artichokes are very dry to get that golden roasted texture.
