Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Prepare the Artichokes

Cut off the top 1/3 of each artichoke and trim the stem to create a flat bottom so they can stand upright.

3
Trim the Leaves

Using kitchen scissors, trim the sharp tips off the outer leaves.

4
Prepare the Lemons

Cut one lemon in half, then cut one half into 4 thin slices. Set aside the remaining lemon and a half.

5
Rub with Lemon

Rub the cut surfaces of the artichokes with a lemon half to prevent browning.

6
Prepare the Garlic

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

7
Create Garlic Pockets

Gently separate the artichoke leaves slightly and insert garlic slices between leaves, distributing evenly among all artichokes.

8
Season the Artichokes

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

9
Apply Seasoning

Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture over and between the leaves of each artichoke.

10
Prepare Fresh Thyme

Strip thyme leaves from stems and sprinkle over the artichokes.

11
Prepare Baking Dish

Pour vegetable broth into a baking dish large enough to hold all artichokes upright.

12
Add Lemon Slices

Place a lemon slice on top of each artichoke, gently pressing it down slightly.

13
Arrange Artichokes

Place the prepared artichokes upright in the baking dish with broth.

14
Cover for Baking

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

15
Bake Covered

Bake covered for 35 minutes.

16
Uncover and Continue Baking

Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until leaves are easily pulled away.

17
Prepare Serving Lemon

Cut the remaining lemon into wedges for serving.

18
Check Doneness

Test for doneness by pulling on an outer leaf - it should come away easily.

19
Serve

Transfer artichokes to serving plates, drizzling with some of the cooking liquid from the baking dish.

20
Garnish

Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the artichokes.
