Ingredients

• 4 large artichokes
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the artichokes by cutting off the stems and trimming the tough outer leaves. Cut each artichoke in half widthwise. With a teaspoon, scoop out the choke from each half and discard. Place the artichoke halves in a large bowl of water with the juice of half a lemon to prevent browning.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, and olive oil. Mix until thoroughly combined.
4. Arrange the artichoke halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the artichoke halves and spread it over the artichoke flesh. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
6. Serve with lemon wedges.
