Ingredients

  • 2 large globe artichokes, halved, trimmed
  • 2 lemons, halved
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 6 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in the juice of half the 2 halved lemons; add the spent halves to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Prepare each artichoke: snap off tough outer leaves, trim the top 1 inch, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon. Immediately submerge in lemon water.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, remaining lemon juice, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  4. 4

    Drain the 2 halved, trimmed large globe artichokes and pat dry. Rub the cut surfaces generously with the olive oil mixture, pressing some garlic into the crevices.

  5. 5

    Place the artichokes cut-side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining oil mixture over the top. Cover tightly with foil.

  6. 6

    Roast for 30 minutes covered, then remove the foil and roast another 12-15 minutes until the cut sides are golden brown and a leaf pulls out easily.

  7. 7

    While the artichokes roast, stir together 6 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and a squeeze of lemon juice to make a quick aioli.

  8. 8

    Serve the roasted artichokes hot or warm, sprinkled with 2 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, with the lemon aioli alongside for dipping.
