Instructions
Prepare the artichokes
Trim the artichokes by cutting off the top third and snipping off the sharp tips of the leaves. Cut the stem to allow the artichoke to sit upright.
Pro tip: Rub cut edges with lemon to prevent browning.
Steam the artichokes
Place artichokes in a large pot with a steamer basket. Add water to the bottom and cover. Steam for 20 minutes until slightly tender.
Pro tip: The artichokes are ready when you can easily pull off a leaf.
Prepare the stuffing
In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pro tip: Adjust seasoning to taste.
Stuff the artichokes
Gently spread the leaves of each artichoke and fill with the breadcrumb mixture. Distribute the stuffing evenly among the leaves.
Pro tip: Use a spoon to pack the stuffing firmly.
Bake the artichokes
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place stuffed artichokes in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
Pro tip: Remove foil for the last 5 minutes for a crispy top.
Serve the artichokes
Transfer artichokes to a serving platter. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired and serve warm.
Pro tip: Garnish with extra chopped parsley for freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- Choose firm, fresh artichokes with closed leaves for best results.
