Crispy Oven Roasted Artichokes

While roasted artichoke halves might sound intimidating to make, they really couldn't be easier! & they are such a treat to enjoy as an appetizer with any dinner you serve.

Garlic, parmesan, potatoes, and a creamy chive sauce go PERFECTLY with these toasty, roasted artichoke halves.

How to Prep Artichoke Halves for Roasting

For this artichoke halves recipe, I have a simple step-by-step guide to prepping artichokes for roasting.

While it may feel complicated - I promise it's not that bad! And the end result of the roasted artichokes is totally worth it.

How to Trim & Cut Artichoke Halves

1. Our oven roasted artichoke halves are first trimmed of ¾ of the stem.
2. Using kitchen scissors simply snip the pointy tips off of all of the leaves.
3. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
4. Carefully scoop out the interior with a spoon and discard it.

Best Methods for Roasting

1. Crispy roasted artichokes are easily made in a baking dish! Which is how I prepared them in this recipe.
   
2. Pan roasted artichokes can also be made on a sheet tray with other vegetables to roast to crispy perfection!

How to Make and Eat Roasted Artichokes

Exactly how long you need to roast artichokes will depend on how large the artichokes are! When cooking artichokes in your oven, larger ones could take up to 40 minutes to get brown and crispy.

There are plenty of ways to eat a roasted artichoke but my favorite way is as an appetizer with any sort of dip. The leaves are SO tender and delicious.

Roasted artichoke appetizers are best served alongside my creamy, chive, and garlic dip!

So, How Do I Eat This Artichoke?

Now you might be wondering…“How do you eat a halved artichoke?” As complicated as artichokes look, eating them is simple.

You just pull the individual leaves off of the halves and work your way to the center of the artichoke! Although if you are me, I start right in the middle and eat the heart first, hah!

What to Serve with Roasted Artichokes

You could pair just about anything with this roasted artichoke recipe, and it would be to die for.

However, I love roasted potatoes and artichokes together and they take about the same amount of time to cook! So for this recipe, I added chopped-up baby potatoes to serve with it.

& if there had to pick one other ingredient I love with artichokes, it's cheese! Roasted artichokes with parmesan work so well with the addition of the potatoes.
