Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Trim 1/4" off the stem of the artichokes and cut off the top 1/3 of the artichokes. Using kitchen sheers, snip off the thorny tips of each petal. Be careful — they're sharp! Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise, then use a spoon to remove the fuzzy choke in the center. From there, cut 1 lemon in half and rub the cut sides of the artichokes with the lemon to prevent browning. 3 large artichokes,2 lemons

Place the artichoke halves cut side up in a 13×9" baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Coat each side of the artichokes with oil (also in between the petals), season with salt and pepper to taste, and fill each cavity with the garlic and thyme. Slice the remaining lemon into (6) slices. Place one slice over the artichoke and flip it upside down (the lemon slice will help hold the garlic and herbs in the middle). 2 tablespoons olive oil,6 cloves garlic,1 large sprig fresh thyme,salt and pepper

Cover the artichokes with foil and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the artichokes are very tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Flip the artichokes and remove the garlic and herbs. From there, you can smash the garlic and add it to mayo for garlic aioli if desired. Serve with additional lemon if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Master the Artichoke Cut 🔪
Cut artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke center with a spoon, then slice into quarters for maximum surface area to caramelize and crisp up beautifully in the oven.
Dry Before Roasting 💧
Pat artichokes completely dry with paper towels after rinsing—moisture is the enemy of browning, so this step ensures golden, crispy edges instead of steamed vegetables.
High Heat for Caramelization 🔥
Roast at 425°F or higher to achieve deep caramelization and tender interiors within 25-30 minutes; lower temperatures result in pale, undercooked artichokes.
Infuse Oil Strategically 🧄
Mince garlic finely and toss with olive oil before coating artichokes—this prevents burnt garlic pieces while allowing the flavor to permeate throughout the cooking process.
Lemon as Final Flourish 🍋
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over artichokes immediately after roasting while still hot to brighten flavors and prevent oxidation that dulls their vibrant green color.
