Tips and Notes

  • Artichokes: Use fresh artichokes or canned/jarred artichoke hearts. If using fresh, steam them first until tender, then cut them in half for grilling.
  • Marinade: Toss the artichoke hearts in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like oregano or thyme before grilling to enhance their flavor.
  • Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the artichoke halves cut side down for about 5-7 minutes until they develop nice grill marks and are heated through.
  • Finishing Touch: For added flavor, consider sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese or crushed red pepper flakes just before serving.
  • Storage: Store any leftover grilled artichokes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy them cold in salads or reheat gently before serving.
