Oven-Roasted Artichokes

Appetizer 🧄Side Dish 🥗Snack 🍿 Italian 🇮🇹American Low-CarbGluten-FreeVegetarian 🥦Halal 🕌Kosher ✡️

Oven-Roasted Artichokes feature tender, foil-roasted halves finished under the broiler with a garlicky, cheesy aioli that turns golden and toasty. Bright lemon butter seeps between the leaves, balancing richness with a hint of smoke from chipotle. Serve as a shareable appetizer or a standout side when you want something savory, aromatic, and satisfying.

Oven-Roasted Artichokes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Trim each artichoke stem to less than 2 inches long. Slice off the tips and use kitchen shears to snip the thorny points. Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and use a small knife to remove the chokes (the white fibrous hairs and inner purple leaves); discard.

  3. 3

    Lay out 8 squares of aluminum foil. Place 1 artichoke half, cut side up, in the center of each square.

  4. 4

    Stir the olive oil, butter, and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over each artichoke half, making sure it runs between the leaves. Flip the artichokes over.

  5. 5

    Make the foil packets: Bring up the sides of the foil, double-fold the top and ends, and seal the foil snugly around each artichoke. Place them on a baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Roast in the preheated oven until fork-tender, about 40 minutes.

  7. 7

    While the artichokes roast, mix the mayonnaise, cheese, garlic, pepper, and chipotle powder together in a bowl; set aside.

  8. 8

    Remove the artichokes from the oven. Turn on the broiler.

  9. 9

    Carefully open the foil by cutting along the top of each packet with a sharp knife to let the steam escape. Use tongs to flip each artichoke over. Scoop some of the mayonnaise mixture into the center of each artichoke half and spread slightly with a spoon.

  10. 10

    Return the artichokes to the oven and broil, with the foil open, until the topping is browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
