Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the top inch of the artichoke and trimming the stems so they can stand upright.
Remove tough outer leaves at the base and snip the sharp tips of remaining leaves with kitchen scissors. Rinse thoroughly.
Cut the lemon in half and rub the cut sides over the exposed parts of the artichoke to prevent browning. Save the lemon halves for later use.
In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautΓ© for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the plain breadcrumbs to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the nutritional yeast, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Gently separate the artichoke leaves and fill the spaces with the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to ensure the stuffing stays in place.
In a large pot, place the stuffed artichokes upright and add the vegetable broth along with the squeezed lemon halves.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the artichokes and bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover the pot and cook for 40-45 minutes, or until the artichoke leaves pull away easily and the hearts are tender.
Carefully remove the artichokes from the pot and place them on a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with vegan parmesan for additional flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
