Roasted Balsamic Artichokes Recipes

OVEN ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. To prepare the artichokes, trim each stem to less than 2 inches in length. Slice off the tips of the artichoke and snip the thorny tips with some kitchen shears. Slice the artichoke in half lengthwise and then remove and discard the "choke" (white fibrous hairs and inner purple leaves) with a small knife.
• Lay out 8 squares of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Place 1 artichoke half in the center of each foil square. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, butter and lemon juice. Drizzle over the face-up artichoke halves, taking care to get the mixture in between the leaves. Flip the artichoke so it's cut side down on the foil. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet snugly around the artichoke. Roast on a baking sheet until the stems are fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
• As the artichokes roast, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, black pepper, chipotle powder and cheese; set aside.
• Open foil surrounding artichokes carefully by cutting along top with a sharp knife, allowing steam to escape. Using tongs, flip the artichoke face up. Scoop the mayo mixture into the divot made by removing the "choke" and spread with a spoon to extend beyond the divot. Turn oven temperature to broil. Leaving the foil open, broil until the mayo mixture is browned, 4-5 minutes.
• To eat, remove the leaves from the outer part of the artichoke, dip in the mayo mixture and scrape the soft artichoke meat from the leaf with your teeth. Continue working your way through the artichoke until the leaves and dip disappear!

SIMPLY ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place artichokes stem-side down in a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice.
• Slightly separate the artichoke leaves with your hands.
• Insert a knife blade into the center of each artichoke to create a garlic clove-size space.
• Drizzle each artichoke with olive oil.
• Press 1 clove of garlic into the center of each artichoke and season with salt.
• Tightly wrap each artichoke twice with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Place in baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until sizzling, about 1 hour 20 minutes

ROASTED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prepare artichokes. Remove the tough outer leaves of the artichokes and trim the stems. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer green layer from the stem. Cut off the top third of the head to remove the tough ends of the leaves, then split it down the middle. Rub with lemon as you work so they don't turn brown.
• Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and garlic. Lay the artichoke halves cut-side up in a roasting dish and drizzle with the olive oil mixture. Roast in the oven until the artichokes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• To serve, top with the cheese and garnish with the parsley.

ROASTED BALSAMIC ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Wash artichokes in cold water.
• Snip off sharp points and trim the stem.
• Cut artichokes in half length-wise.
• Carefully cut or snip out the spiny inner leaves and remove the "choke" completely.
• Place in a bowl of water with lemon juice to avoid browning.
• In a large pot, combine chicken broth with water and bring to a boil.
• Boil covered artichokes for 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
• Remove artichokes from pot and baste them on both sides with the oil and vinegar mixture.
• Place artichokes cut side down on a grill set to medium.
• Turn after 5-7 minutes and baste again.
• Pour remaining mixture into the cups of the artichokes.
• Cook an additional 5-8 minutes, careful not to char the artichokes.
• Serve hot with or without dip.

ROASTED ARTICHOKES WITH PARMESAN BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• For the artichokes: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add water.
• Trim the top 1 inch off the tops of the artichokes. Use kitchen shears to trim the pointy edges off the leaves. Trim the ends of the artichokes. Cut the artichokes in half through the centers. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy chokes and the purple leaves. Place the artichokes in the lemon water as you work to prevent them from browning.
• Shake off the water from the artichokes and place, cut-sides down, in a small baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the artichokes are tender, 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet. Add the panko and cook until toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove to a small bowl and let stand until room temperature, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, Parmesan and parsley.
• Make the lemon-garlic aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, turn over the artichokes and sprinkle with the panko mixture, stuffing some between the leaves. Drizzle or dip with the aioli.

PAN-ROASTED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Peel off and discard a few outer petals of the artichokes until you reach the pale, tender center. Trim the top and stem end, then quarter each artichoke. There should be no discernible choke, but if there is, remove it with a paring knife. Put the artichokes in a bowl of cold water to which the lemon juice has been added.
• In a wide, heavy, nonaluminum skillet, heat a 1/2 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Drain and blot the artichokes and, when the oil is nearly smoking, carefully add them to the skillet. Season well with salt and pepper, stirring to coat with oil. Let the artichokes brown slightly, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until they are tender when probed with a paring knife.
• Add the red pepper, garlic and parsley. Stir well and let sizzle for a minute or so. Transfer the artichokes to a platter, sprinkle with coarse salt and serve with lemon wedges, or sprinkle sparingly with red wine vinegar. Eat hot, or at room temperature.

POT-ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Squeeze lemon into a large bowl of cold water. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, pull off tough dark outer leaves until mostly yellow leaves remain. Using a serrated knife, cut 1" off from top. Trim stem, leaving at least 1/2" of stem intact; using a paring knife or vegetable peeler, remove tough outer layer from stem. Dip artichoke in lemon water to prevent discoloration. Pry open leaves to expose choke. Using a small spoon, scrape choke from artichoke and discard. Place artichoke in lemon water.
• Drain artichokes and set stem side up on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let stand about 2 minutes to drain; pat dry.
• Heat oil in a wide heavy pot over medium-high heat. Place artichokes, stem side up, in pot and reduce heat to medium-low. Scatter garlic over, season with salt, and cook, without stirring, just until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes.
• Add wine; cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer, without stirring (which could cause artichokes to fall apart), until artichoke hearts are very tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Add capers, bring to a boil, and cook, uncovered, until wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add mint and parsley and cook (it's okay if a few artichokes tip over), reducing heat if necessary to prevent scorching, until artichoke tops are deep golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Serve artichokes warm or room temperature, drizzled with pan juices.
• DO AHEAD: Artichokes can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

ROASTED ARTICHOKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Toss artichoke hearts with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl to coat; spread onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the artichoke hearts.
• Roast in preheated oven until they get a little brown around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the artichokes roast, vigorously whisk shallot, lime juice, vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Add basil; stir. Slowly stream 1/2 cup olive oil into the mixture while whisking.
• Transfer artichoke hearts to a serving dish. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing over the artichokes and toss gently to coat. Add capers, bell pepper, and onion. Pour more dressing over the mixture until everything is coated, but not swimming in liquid. Top with balsamic glaze and shaved Parmesan cheese.

CRISPY JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES WITH AGED BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron (you'll need a lid), over mediumhigh heat. Add Jerusalem artichokes and 1/4 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until Jerusalem artichokes are fork-tender, 8-10 minutes.
• Uncover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated and Jerusalem artichokes begin to brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes longer; transfer to a platter.
• Add rosemary and butter to skillet and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, about 4 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and stir in vinegar, scraping up any browned bits. Spoon brown butter sauce and rosemary over Jerusalem artichokes.

ROASTED ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Rinse artichokes.
• Cut off 1/4 of the artichoke and trim leaf tips. Cut in half.
• Mix all ingredients and pour over chokes.
• Cook in 400 degree oven until done. I don't wrap in foil, but see that reviewers have and I'm sure it speeds up the cooking time. Cooking time really varies. It depends on the size and age of the artichoke. You just have to check. I usually serve these at room temp with a mayo-curry sauce.
