4.6 from 86 reviews

A delicious and hearty Baked Stuffed Artichoke recipe featuring tender artichokes filled with a flavorful mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic, and cheese, baked until perfectly golden and tender.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Artichokes

  • 4 large fresh artichokes
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste

For the Stuffing

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Artichokes: Rinse artichokes under cold water. Trim the stems and cut the top third off each artichoke. Remove small outer leaves to expose the larger inner leaves. Spread the leaves gently to create space for stuffing. Brush with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, olive oil, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined and slightly moist.
  3. Stuff the Artichokes: Spoon the breadcrumb mixture between the leaves and into the center of each artichoke, pressing gently to help it stay in place.
  4. Bake: Place stuffed artichokes upright in a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until the leaves are tender and stuffing is golden brown.
  5. Serve: Allow the artichokes to cool slightly before serving warm as a savory appetizer or side dish.

Notes

  • Fresh artichokes should feel heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
  • Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to trim tough leaf tips if desired.
  • Cover with foil during baking to keep the artichokes moist and tender.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle additional olive oil or serve with a lemon-garlic dipping sauce.
