Easy Oven Roasted Artichokes
Easy Oven Roasted Artichokes are tender, flavorful and served with a creamy garlic parmesan dip. They make a great side dish or appetizer, and post includes instructions on how to prep fresh artichokes!
Ingredients
For the artichokes:
- 4 medium artichokes
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 sprigs thyme broken into smaller pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
Lemon Garlic Parmesan Dip (optional)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sub with mayo
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Trim 1/4" off the stem of the artichokes and peel the remaining stem with a vegetable peeler. Cut off the top 1/3 of the artichokes, then snip off the thorny tips off of the petals of each. Be careful -- they're sharp! Cut each artichoke in half, then in quarters, and rub the cut sides with lemon juice to prevent browning from oxidation.
- Place the artichoke quarters and thyme sprigs on a large rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 30-40 minutes or until the tip of a knife is inserted into the base of the artichoke easily. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Before serving, using a melon baller or teaspoon, remove the fuzzy top of the artichoke heart (see photo in post for clarification).
For the dip:
- Place all ingredients into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Serve the artichokes as an appetizer or side dish, and enjoy!
Notes
- Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the artichokes.
- You can remove the fuzzy top of the artichoke heart before the artichokes are roasted, but it's easier to do afterwards when they're softer.
- Be very careful when removing the thorny tips of the artichoke petals, they're sharp!
- The dip is optional as the roasted artichokes also taste delicious on their own.
