Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh artichokes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the artichokes by trimming off about 1 inch from the tops and cutting off the stems to create a flat base. Remove the tough outer leaves and slice each artichoke in half lengthwise.
Using a spoon, scoop out the fuzzy choke and smaller inner leaves at the center of each artichoke half. Rinse the artichokes under cold water to remove any debris.
Cut the lemon in half and rub the cut lemon over the exposed artichoke halves to prevent browning.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Place the artichoke halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the artichokes.
Sprinkle the garlic slices over and around the artichokes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Flip the artichokes so they are cut-side down on the tray. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the backs of the artichokes.
Cover the baking sheet or dish tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture and roast for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and roast uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the edges are slightly crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
