Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Artichokes
Trim the artichokes by cutting off the top third and removing the tough outer leaves. Cut off the stem so they can stand upright.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pan, heat the cooking oil to 350°F (175°C).

Bread the Artichokes
Dip each artichoke into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 5
Fry the Artichokes
Carefully place the battered artichokes into the hot oil and fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Lemon-Sage Aioli
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped sage, and minced garlic. Stir until well combined.
