Easy to make roasted artichokes with lemon and garlic are guaranteed to please especially when paired with my zesty aioli!

What is the best way to cook artichokes?
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.
How do you eat roasted artichokes?
Use the petals of the artichoke as scoops for whatever dip you’re using. Place the fleshy bottom part in your mouth, bite down and pull the petal away. Your teeth will scrape off all that delicious flesh and you wont have to worry about the fibrous part. The Delicious heart can be eaten with a fork and knife, just make sure you have removed all the fur.

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!
How long do you roast artichokes?
Bake at 400F cut side down for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cover in foil, and bake an additional 25-30 minutes or until tender.

The thought of raw egg yolks kind of grosses me out. Any way to cook them a little? Or substitute?
Karen,
If your not into the raw egg yolk, you could gussy up a mayonnaise with garlic and herbs!

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!
