Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered artichoke hearts, olive oil, seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Romano, parsley, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 2-quart casserole dish and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, toss plain breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle over the casserole.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm as a side dish or light entrée.

Notes

Use marinated artichoke hearts for extra flavor, but rinse and drain well if doing so.
For a vegan version, substitute cheeses with nutritional yeast and use vegan breadcrumbs.
Great make-ahead dish; refrigerate and bake when ready to serve.
Pairs well with roasted meats or as a vegetarian main course.
