The Most Incredible Garlic Lemon Butter Roasted Artichokes 🥦🧄
(A simple, flavorful way to enjoy fresh artichokes! Perfectly roasted with garlic, lemon, and butter.)
🛒 Ingredients:
• 2 large fresh artichokes
• 3 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lemon, sliced (plus extra juice)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
Dipping sauce:
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup lemon juice
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Prep the Artichokes
• Cut off the stem, leaving about ½ inch.
• Remove tough outer leaves and trim the top ½ inch off each artichoke.
• Use kitchen shears to snip off sharp tips of remaining leaves.
• Slice artichokes in half lengthwise, then scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.
• Rub cut sides with lemon juice to prevent browning.
2️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3️⃣ Roast the Artichokes
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place artichokes cut-side up in a baking dish.
• Drizzle with garlic butter mixture and tuck lemon slices around them.
• Cover with foil and roast for 35-40 minutes, until leaves pull off easily.
4️⃣ Finish & Serve
• Remove foil, sprinkle with Parmesan (if using), and broil for 5 minutes for a golden finish.
• Serve warm with extra lemon wedges or a garlic aioli for dipping!
🔥 Pro Tip: You can also grill these! Just wrap in foil and grill over medium heat for 25-30 minutes.
