Calories: 180kcal
- 2 medium to large Artichokes trimmed and halved
- 1 cup Italian-style Breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, can be omitted for vegan
- ¼ cup Fresh Parsley chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted, can substitute more olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice fresh lemon preferred
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 cup Broth or Water to keep artichokes moist
Start by trimming and halving the artichokes. Remove the fuzzy choke inside using a spoon to make room for the savory stuffing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until fully combined.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture generously into the halved artichokes, pressing down slightly to ensure the stuffing is compact.
Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish and pour broth or water around them. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 55 minutes.
Once out of the oven, let the artichokes cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with extra olive oil if desired.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and additional lemon wedges for a zesty twist. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze before baking for up to 3 months.
