Description
-
Coat the basket of an air fryer with cooking spray.
-
Combine almond flour, cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; mix well. Pat artichoke hearts dry; toss in the almond flour mixture to coat. Remove and set aside.
-
Whisk egg and water in a separate large bowl. Add the remaining almond flour mixture; whisk until smooth.

Dip each artichoke into the batter; transfer to a plate and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Working in batches as necessary, arrange the artichokes in the prepared basket; coat with cooking spray. Cook at 400°F until lightly golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more. (Be gentle when flipping; they may stick.)

Combine yogurt, lemon juice, dill, honey, and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle on the salad and toss to coat. Arrange the salad on a platter. Top with the tempura artichokes and sprinkle with almonds.
