Instructions
Instructions are for 10 servings. Please modify as needed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Place the artichokes on a sturdy work surface. Take the artichoke stem in one hand and cut off the top half of the artichoke.
If it’s there, scrape out the hairy choke at the center of the leaves with a small spoon.
Turn the artichoke around and cut the stem off. Remove the hard leaves at the bottom until only soft leaves remain.
Place the artichokes in a pot and add enough water to cover. Add a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until a leaf can be easily pulled out.
Drain the artichokes and place them upright in a baking dish.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for about 15 minutes until the bottoms of the artichokes are fork-tender, then serve.
Tip
The artichoke is a delicious, beautiful vegetable; it is actually a big flower bud of the thistle family. If you allow artichokes to grow, they will produce gorgeous flowers. The choke turns into pretty purple strings. Young artichokes usually don’t have a choke yet, which makes them easier to handle.

Artichokes are amazing! So easy for a lunchbox. Steamed thoroughly the night before I can take this to work - heat slightly in the microwave and use melted salted butter (lots!) as a dip. Truly wonderful keto veg. And the hens are happy with the leftovers :)
