Grilled artichokes with lemon and garlic are a perfect side dish for any meal. They are easy to prepare and packed with flavor. The combination of the smoky charred flavor from the grill and the tangy lemon and garlic marinade makes this dish a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 4 large artichokes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
To prepare the artichokes, trim the stem and cut off the top quarter of the artichoke. Remove the tough outer leaves and trim the tips of the remaining leaves. Cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and remove the choke with a spoon. Rinse the artichoke halves under cold water and pat dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture over the artichoke halves, making sure to coat them evenly.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the artichokes on the grill, cut-side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes or until charred and tender. Flip the artichokes over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the artichokes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade and serve immediately.
