artichokes are my go-to comfort food whenever they're on sale at our market. my nerd likes them too! i've always had them boiled or steamed, and wanted something a little different. these were fantastic, roasted in the oven, with garlic, fresh lemon and a bit of salt. yummmmmm!
2 artichokes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbs olive oil
1 lemon, halved
preheat oven to 425f. using a serrated knife cut off the stem and 1 inch off the top of the artichokes and rub with lemon to prevent discoloration. push a garlic clove down into the center of each artichoke and sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt over each one. drizzle 1 tbs olive oil over the top of each, and squeeze 1/2 lemon over each, making sure to squeeze out all the juice. if you have dry lemons, feel free to use a whole lemon on each artichoke. wrap with tinfoil and place on a baking sheet. place in oven and roast for 1.5 hours. serve with peppery white cheddar mac'n cheese.
