Ingredients

• 1 pound baby artichokes
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Fill a large bowl with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent the artichokes from browning.

Step 3

To prepare the baby artichokes, trim off the top 1/2 inch of each artichoke and snap off the tough outer leaves until the pale, tender inner leaves are revealed. Trim the stem and cut each artichoke in half lengthwise.

Step 4

As you prepare each artichoke, immediately place it in the bowl of lemon water to keep it from discoloring.

Step 5

Drain the artichokes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

Toss the artichokes with olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the artichokes cut-side down in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the artichokes are golden brown and tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving warm.
