Roasted Artichokes with Parmesan and Basil

April 25, 2022 By Liza Cannata Leave a Comment

 

Growing up I wasn’t a huge fan of artichokes.  They frequently appeared at our dinner table, usually steamed, served cold with mayo on the side.  It seemed silly to me to scrape such little meat off each leaf and I could never figure out the how to eat the heart.  Plus, I can’t stand plain mayonnaise.  It wasn’t until my adult years when I learned to love this complicated little vegetable.  Yes, they are still high-maintenance, but undoubtedly delicious when prepared correctly.  And this means WARM and definitely not with mayo.  One of my favorite ways to eat artichokes is to simply roast them with lemon, olive oil, garlic, parmesan, and basil.  I like to prepare them and pop them in the oven for an hour while I make the rest of my dinner.   They sure make a beautiful presentation too.  Enjoy!

  6. Remove and turn artichoke halves over so cut side is up. Divide butter and parmesan evenly between the cut artichokes. Cover with tin foil and place back in the oven for another 30 minutes. In the last 15 minutes remove the foil and roast the artichokes uncovered. If the leaves pull away from the artichoke easy the artichokes are done
