Beer-Battered Artichoke Hearts [Vegan]

Ingredients

For the Artichokes:

• 32-ounce bottle canola oil for frying
• 2 14-ounce cans of whole artichoke hearts packed in water
• 1 cup organic unbleached white flour
• 1 cup beer
• Salt/pepper, to taste

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt, to taste
• Handful of chives, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)

Preparation

1. Fill a heavy pot with the whole bottle of canola oil. Heat the oil to 375°F.
2. Drain artichokes and pat dry, squeezing slightly any remaining water. Place them on a paper towel so it absorbs the water.
3. In a large bowl whisk together flour and beer. Add salt and pepper.
4. Once oil is ready, dip artichoke hearts in batter and place in oil. Let them fry 3-5 minutes. Flipping them over if need be. Place 4 to 5 artichokes at a time as not to over crowd my pot. Repeat process until all artichokes hearts are fried.
5. Place fried artichoke hearts on a plate lined with a paper towel. This will grab any dripping oil.
6. Sprinkle with salt.
7. For the dipping sauce, mix all ingredients together well. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
