Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare the artichokes.
Cut off the top third of each artichoke and trim the stem. Remove the outer layer of tough leaves from the base.
Rub the cut surfaces of the artichokes with half a lemon to prevent browning.
Once the water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and the artichokes. Boil for 15 minutes or until the artichokes' bases are just tender.
Drain and cool the artichokes under cold running water. Then, cut each artichoke in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy choke from the center.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the artichoke halves with the garlic olive oil mixture on all sides.
Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the leaves are tender.
Transfer the grilled artichokes to a serving plate. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over them and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish, and enjoy!
