  • Artichokes

How to Make Artichoke Hearts Wrapped In Bacon

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Cut the bacon slices in half. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Broil the bacon for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly crispy but not yet fully cooked. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the bacon from the broiler and let cool slightly until easy to handle.
  5. Wrap each artichoke heart with a piece of bacon, tucking the broiled side inward to create a neat package. Secure with a toothpick.
  6. Place the wrapped artichoke hearts on the baking sheet.
  7. Broil for another 4-5 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crisp, and the artichoke hearts are heated through. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from broiler, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
