These artichokes were absolutely delicious!!!! My family couldn’t even wait to get them on their plate, everybody was eating them out of the dish right out of the oven. Thank you 🙂 Mine did take longer than an hour to cook, about 1-1/2 hours, but it could have been because they were ginormous 😉 This recipe is a keeper; already written in my personal recipe book. Thank you 🙂

I love artichokes! Great idea to bake them. What temp do you bake yours at?
Thanks

Pam. Thanks for your recipe. I grew up on artichokes and still eat them frequently (I buy them every time they look remotely good). I have always boiled them, knew about baking them, but never really looked for a recipe…until today. Your recipe is delicious. I didn’t cook them for as long but that’s the only thing I changed.
Thanks!

In reply to Dan.

Dan,

You did it correctly. Unfortunately, you can only eat the bottom portion of each leaf (the soft portion). You can also eat the heart which is at the base of all of the leaves and attached to the stem. Artichokes don’t fill you up but they are so tasty I don’t mind.

Okay, time to follow up from my post above. My Artichoke didn’t turn out that great. It was nice and mushy when I took it out of the oven, indicating that it’s done, right? I pealed the leaves off one at a time and ate the soft part at the base of the leaves… that’s the way you’re supposed to eat them, right? Not a rhetorical question, I’m seriously asking. Anyway, it seems like I barely got anything worth eating from the thing. I’m not only inexperienced with cooking the things, but eating them too. I probably just tossed a lot of what’s edible.

I bought Artichokes for the first time this weekend. I’m up late and thought I’d bake one based on the way that I vaguely remember them being prepared at a steakhouse in central California a few years ago. I probably should have read your blog first because I didn’t chop the Artichoke in half… the steakhouse did, now that I think about it. I did clip the thorns and chopped off about an inch of the top. I also spread the flower and doused it with olive oil. Afterwards I wrapped it in aluminum foil and it’s been baking now for 30 min at 425 degrees. We’ll see how it turns out. After reading your blog, I wish I would have added garlic, salt and pepper. Next time.

I wasn’t nearly as sophisticated as you when I was a little girl – I do however LOVE them now. Definitely one of my faves.

I love artichokes and have never baked them before. Like you, my parents always steamed or boiled them and served with mayo. I love the fresh approach to this recipe. I am definitely giving this a try!
