Alright then, Artichokes

Alright then, Artichokes

So I was talking to a customer at work about artichokes yesterday ('cause Trader Joe's has such a good deal on them) and I said I usually steam them. She told me it's also super easy to bake them. Just half them, drizzle with olive oil, toss on your favorite spices (I used granulated garlic), put them in a oven safe dish with a little water on the bottom, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 375 F for 35 minutes. After that remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes. 

So, it's a little lengthy (the bake time) but you don't need to keep an eye on them really- just a nose. I could smell when they were almost ready. So it leaves time to do other things. Not bad in my opinion. They make a great snack or side!

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Just ate some- so yummy!!!! Definitely try this guys! You can eat more of the vegetable than if you just steam it too!
