Easy to make roasted artichokes with lemon and garlic are guaranteed to please especially when paired with my zesty aioli! Steaming artichokes seems like the most common way to prepare this gigantic edible flower but roasting them yields more flavor and allows to you season them so you could even enjoy without a dipping sauce. I however couldn’t help myself and had to whip up a batch of lemon aioli infused with some of the garlic I roasted in the artichokes, so addictive!
By the way, this aioli is pretty easy and totally addictive. I could add this to any number of things including toast, sandwiches, fries and pasta. What do you use aioli on?

Side note: My mom would always serve our artichokes with that onion powder you mix with sour cream. That stuff was what little kid dreams are made of! So If you don’t have time to blend up an aioli just serve with whatever dipping sauce your family loves!

I tried this last night and my artichokes were so good! Never thought to add garlic cloves to the inside!
Thanks!
I noticed the instructions (#6) say to wrap the artichokes in foil; this doesn’t happen in the pictures or in the video. If they need to be in foil, can you cover the entire sheet pan or do they need to be individually wrapped? I love artichokes and have had them roasted on a grill, but they were parboiled first.
Thank you,

Sal,
My artichokes came out a little crispier than I wanted them to be when I didn’t wrap in foil! You can cover the pan or wrap each individual artichoke! Hope you enjoy!
