4. Step 4

   Place the crisper plate into the COSORI Air Fryer basket.

5. Step 5

   Select the Preheat function, adjust temperature to 385°F, then tap Start/Pause.

6. Step 6

   Brush the olive oil mixture over the steamed artichoke halves and inside the leaves, then place cut-side-up onto the preheated crisper plate. Sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese.

7. Step 7

   Select the Air Fry function, adjust time to 8 minutes, then tap Start/Pause.

8. Step 8

   Remove artichokes when they are crispy and golden brown, then serve.
