Let’s talk about what you’ll need to make them. 

Prosciutto Wrapped Artichoke Hearts Ingredients: 

• ARTICHOKE HEARTS: I prefer to use frozen artichoke hearts for this recipe. They have a little bit better texture and they aren’t canned in a salty brine. That being said, they can sometimes be harder to find. If you can only find canned artichoke hearts, you can use those too, simply omit the extra salt to prevent the final dish from being overly salty. 
• BALSAMIC VINEGAR: The base of the marinade and adds a subtle sweet tanginess to the dish.
• EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
• DRIED BASIL: Like the balsamic, this will add a touch of sweetness to the marinade. 
• SALT: Again, if you’re using canned artichokes, omit the extra salt. Prosciutto is also very salty. 
• GARLIC POWDER: You can also use granulated garlic. 
• PROSCIUTTO: Prosciutto is a thinly sliced dry cured Italian ham. You should be able to find it in the deli section of your grocery store.

Making these Prosciutto Wrapped Artichoke Hearts is really easy! Just marinate, wrap, bake and you’re good to go. 

• STEP #1: Combine artichoke hearts, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried basil, kosher salt (if using) and garlic powder together in small bowl. Gently mix. Artichoke hearts are very fragile and you don’t want to break them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 
• STEP #2: Cut prosciutto pieces (or tear into pieces that are big enough to wrap around artichoke hearts). 
• STEP #3: Wrap the artichokes with the prosciutto pieces, place on a baking sheet. Broil 3 – 5 minutes or until prosciutto has browned and is slightly crispy. Skewer with toothpicks, if desired. Serve.
