How to Make Roasted Baby Artichokes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut off the top quarter of each artichoke and snap off the fibrous outer leaves until you reach the pale yellow inner leaves.
  3. With a paring knife, trim the dark green exterior from the base of each artichoke and the exterior of the stem.
  4. Trim a thin slice from the end of each stem. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise, slicing from the top down through the stem.
  5. Immediately place the trimmed artichokes in a large bowl filled with cold water and the juice of 1/2 lemon to prevent browning.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the artichokes from the lemon water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  7. In a large bowl, toss the artichokes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Arrange the artichokes cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet.
  9. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the artichokes cut-side up and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the artichokes are easily pierced with a fork and tender.
  10. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt.
