Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray
  • 4 large artichokes, stems trimmed, outer leaves removed, and tips of leaves trimmed
  • Juice of ½ lemon (1 ½ – 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 8 lemon slices
  • 8 fresh thyme sprigs
  • Fine salt and black pepper
  • ½ cup avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 ½ tablespoons champagne vinegar (may substitute white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  2. Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. Using a large knife, cut each artichoke in half and use a spoon to scrape out the fuzzy choke.
  4. Brush all sides of the artichokes with lemon juice and place cut-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Roast artichokes for 15 minutes. Remove baking dish from oven and flip the artichokes over so the cut side is up.
  6. Sprinkle artichokes with garlic and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  7. Place a lemon slice and sprig of thyme on top of each artichoke half (sprinkle with dried thyme if not using fresh). Lightly spray artichokes with cooking spray.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and return the dish to the oven.

Notes

- Don't skip trimming the artichokes properly; removing the tough outer leaves and fuzzy choke is key to a pleasant eating experience.
- For perfectly tender roasted artichokes, ensure your baking dish is tightly covered with foil to steam them effectively in the oven.
- To check for doneness, a knife should easily pierce the base of the artichoke. If it resists, roast for a few more minutes.
- Store leftover roasted artichokes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold in salads.
