Baked Stuffed Artichokes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Artichokes
    Cut off the stems and trim about 1 inch from the tops of the artichokes. Remove any tough outer leaves and snip the sharp tips from the remaining leaves with kitchen scissors.
  3. Make the Stuffing
    In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Stuff the Artichokes
    Gently spread the artichoke leaves apart and carefully stuff the breadcrumb mixture between the layers of leaves.
  5. Prepare the Baking Dish
    Place the stuffed artichokes upright in a baking dish. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the bottom of the dish to help steam them during baking.
  6. Add Flavor
    Drizzle the artichokes with lemon juice and a little extra olive oil.
  7. Bake Covered
    Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45–50 minutes until the artichokes are tender.
  8. Finish Baking
    Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
  9. Serve
    Serve warm with extra lemon wedges if desired.
