Easy Oven Roasted Artichokes Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 artichokes (3 to 4 inches wide)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup freshly grated Romano, Asiago and/or Parmesan cheese blend
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
• Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Prepare the artichokes by trimming the stem to less than 2 inches. Cut off the tips and snip any thorny parts with kitchen shears. Halve the artichokes lengthwise and remove the inedible "chokes" (the fibrous hairs and inner purple leaves).
3. Lay out 8 squares of aluminum foil and place one artichoke half, cut-side up, on each square.
4. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, melted butter, and lemon juice. Drizzle this mixture generously over each artichoke half, ensuring it seeps between the leaves. Then, flip the artichokes over.
5. Create sealed foil packets by bringing up the foil sides and tightly double-folding the top and ends around each artichoke. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
6. Roast in the preheated oven until the artichokes are tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 40 minutes.
7. While the artichokes are roasting, prepare the aioli by mixing mayonnaise, grated cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and chipotle powder in a bowl. Set aside.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn on the broiler.
9. Carefully open each foil packet by slicing along the top with a sharp knife to release the steam. Using tongs, flip each artichoke half over. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture generously into the center of each artichoke half and spread it slightly.
10. Return the artichokes to the oven and broil with the foil packets open until the topping is golden brown and bubbly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
