Equipment

  • Large Baking Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 large artichokes
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 basil leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • ½ cup of chicken broth

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • With kitchen scissors, trim all the sharp ends off each leaf. Wash the artichoke well in cool water.
  • Slice down the center to form two halves. Clean out all the fuzzy hairs and smaller leaves with a spoon, then immediately rub all the cut areas with a lemon.
  • Next, combine the olive oil, basil, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a bowl, and mix well.
  • Rub the mixture all over the artichoke halves and inside the leaves.
  • Coat the baking dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place each artichoke half, cut-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the dish and cover with a lid or foil.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until soft and tender. Enjoy!
