Ingredients
Materials
- pot, baking tray, oven
Preparation
Cut the stems of the artichokes and about 1 inch (3 cm) off the top.
Using scissors, snip off the tips of all the artichoke leaves. Then, gently spread the leaves apart from the center.
Next, remove the choke from the artichokes. Use a knife and two spoons to hollow out the artichokes. Afterward, rub lemon juice over the cut parts to prevent browning.
Cook the artichokes in boiling water for 30 minutes. Then, place them on a baking tray and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Mix the olive oil with salt, pepper, herbs, and the crushed garlic clove.
Pour this mixture into the center and between the leaves of the artichokes.
Sprinkle the tops with parmesan and breadcrumbs.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
And there you have it, your baked artichokes are ready!
