Prepare the artichokes: Cut off the stems so the artichokes can sit flat. Trim the tips of the leaves using kitchen scissors. Slice off the top 1–2 inches of the artichoke to remove the spiky parts. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze lemon juice over them to prevent browning.
Prepare the filling: Mince the garlic, parsley, and basil. In a bowl, combine the dairy-free breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, basil, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Gently separate the artichoke leaves to make room for the filling. Stuff the breadcrumb mixture into the spaces between the leaves, pressing gently to secure the filling.
In a large pot or deep sauté pan, add the vegetable broth and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the stuffed artichokes in the pot, making sure they are sitting upright. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the artichokes for 40–45 minutes, or until the leaves are tender and can be easily pulled off. Check occasionally to ensure there is enough liquid in the pot; add more vegetable broth if needed.
Once cooked, remove the artichokes from the pot and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
