Ingredients

• 2 large fresh artichokes
• 1 lemon
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Start by trimming the artichoke stems to 1 inch and peeling off the tough outer leaves.

Step 2

Slice the top inch off each artichoke, and use kitchen shears to snip off the thorny leaf tips.

Step 3

Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke with a spoon.

Step 4

Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and squeeze the juice of a lemon into it, adding the lemon halves as well.

Step 5

Bring the water to a simmer, then add the artichoke halves and cover the pot.

Step 6

Simmer the artichokes for about 10 minutes, until just tender.

Step 7

While the artichokes are steaming, prepare the marinade by mashing the garlic cloves and mixing them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Remove the artichokes from the pot and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 9

Brush the artichokes generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Step 10

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 11

Place the artichokes cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until grill marks appear, then flip and grill for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 12

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the artichokes during the last minute of grilling for a cheesy finish.

Step 13

Remove from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 14

Serve the grilled artichokes warm as an entrée or a side dish. Enjoy your ketogenic meal!
