Photo: Roasted Baby Artichokes Recipe
Ingredients
- 9 baby artichokes (about 2 pounds)
- 2 lemons, cut in half
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons good-quality balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Prepare artichokes. Remove the tough outer leaves of the artichokes and trim the stems. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer green layer from the stem. Cut off the top third of the head to remove the tough ends of the leaves, then split it down the middle. Rub with lemon as you work so they don't turn brown.
Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. Lay the artichoke halves cut-side up in a roasting dish and drizzle with the olive oil mixture. Roast in the oven until the artichokes are tender, about 20 minutes.
To serve, top with the cheese and garnish with the parsley.

I thought the artichokes were delicious prepared this way. I did as other reviewers suggested and tossed the artichokes in the marinade before adding them to the roasting pan. I will definitely make these again but will trim off even more of the leaves. I thought I had trimmed enough off but many on the outside were too tough to eat.

I LOVE artichokes. My husband and I eat one a week. I steam mine and we share a big one. I've been looking for a good recipe to roast baby artichokes. They really aren't that labor intensive once you appreciate the flavor and don't mind the preparation time.

I added some flakes of crushed red pepper to this as well and it was great. To those who had a problme with the salt not disolving and the mixture not mixing, I tossed the artichokes in the bowl with the mixture to coat and it worked out very well.
