    Roasting artichokes doesn’t get any easier with this simple foil packet recipe. The result is delicious, tender artichokes with the perfect Roasted Garlic Aioli.

    Finished artichokes with dipping sauce

    Artichokes are such a great treat, but cooking this funky flower from the thistle family is not something all home cooks like to tackle. Cleaning can be a bit of a trick and knowing just how to steam them without having a waterlogged mess can be intimidating. 

    This super easy recipe cooked totally in the oven will make sure you never “choke” when it comes to cooking artichokes. Add in some delicious dipping sauce and you’ve got it made.

    Artichokes make a great side dish, but they are also fantastic starters. Try Italian Stuffed Artichokes with Lemon, Mint, and Parmesan for another great way to enjoy these beauties.

    Make this recipe, because…

    When you treat yourself to artichokes, you want them to be perfectly cooked. 

    Foil packets are super easy and there is almost no clean up.

    Roasted Garlic cooks right alongside the artichokes so that there is no extra mess made for a really delicious dipping sauce.

    Ingredients

    roasted artichokes ingredients

    Globe Artichokes- These large round beauties are actually the flower of thistle. A small part of this plant is actually edible. There are “meats” found at the bottom of the leaves/petals and a heart of delicate “meat” beneath the spiny choke. 

    Roasted Garlic Aioli Ingredients

    Roasted Garlic- Garlic that has been cooked for over an hour in the oven until the cloves are completely soft. Roasted brings out all of the natural sugars and the cloves turn into a delicious caramelized paste that is great for making dips or just spreading on bread.

    Instructions

    Roasted Artichokes

    Step 1

    • Clean artichokes by rinsing away excess dirt. Pull away some of the tough outer petals and any leaves that are damaged. Then remove the stem and tops leaving the center exposed.
    process 1- clean artichokes

    Step 2

    • Next, trim the outer petals with scissors to remove any thorns.
    process 2- clip thorns
    • Rub the tops of the artichoke with lemon to prevent browning.
    • Drizzle olive oil over each artichoke, season with salt and pepper. Then wrap the artichokes in foil with a wedge of lemon.
    • Roast in a 375° oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. 

    Step 3

    process 2- season and wrap foil

    Step 4

    • To make sure that they are cooked all the way through the center, take one out of the foil packet and use a fork or small knife to poke into the heart from the bottom. It should be fork tender all the way through.
    Process 4- check the center of the artichokes

    Roasted Garlic Aioli Instructions

    Step 1

    • Remove the top of a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves inside.
    • Drizzle the top with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Then wrap the head of garlic in foil and roast in the oven for one hour. (Roast the garlic right alongside the artichokes, and throw in a few extra heads for later.)
    • When you remove the garlic from the foil, it will be very soft and can be squeezed out of the head. The cloves will be a thick paste.

    FAQs

    How do I choose a good artichoke?

    When it comes to choosing a good choke, you are looking for signs of freshness. The leaves/petals should be a nice dark green with little to no browning/bruising. A fresh artichoke is heavy and has tightly closed leaves. 

    If the artichokes are looking a bit dried out, or feel light then they likely aren’t fresh and you should not buy them.

    What do you serve with Roasted Artichokes?

    The petals and heart of an artichoke are delicious and earthy so they pair well with bright flavors like lemon and garlic. Mayonnaise based dips like garlic aioli are often served alongside artichokes.

      I love artichokes but have always thought it a hassle to make them. Not anymore. This is so simple and the aioli is a perfect dip for the artichoke.

    I’m passionate about the family dinner table. Connecting with each other at the end of the day over a good meal creates strong family bonds and healthy long-lasting relationships. I want to help families and friends build those relationships.
