How to Make No Fuss Easy Baked Artichokes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the artichokes thoroughly under cold water and trim the stems to create a stable base.
  3. Cut off the top inch of each artichoke. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, trim the pointed tips of the outer leaves.
  4. Place the artichokes in a baking dish. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the butter mixture generously over the artichokes, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
  6. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the leaves pull away easily and the artichoke hearts are tender. You can check for doneness by inserting a fork into the base; it should go in easily.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Enjoy as is, or scoop out the fuzzy choke to create an edible bowl. Fill with your favorite dip, stew, or soup for an unforgettable presentation!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
