Ingredients
  • For the artichokes:
  • 2 large artichokes, cut in half and hair scraped out
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • juice from about ½ a lemon
  • For the dip:
  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • ¾ teaspoon lemon juice, depending on preference
  • ¼ teaspoon finely minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil, or ½ teaspoon freshly chopped basil
  • dash of sugar
  • dash of salt
  • dash of pepper
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Rinse artichokes and cut stems off almost to the flower. Cut the top ⅓ of the artichoke leaves off. Snip any spikes off. Cut artichokes in half and scoop out all the hair from the center, careful not to scrape out any of the heart.
  3. Arrange artichokes, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Drizzle artichokes with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Using hands, rub olive oil and seasonings all around artichokes and between the leaves. Turn artichokes over, cut side down and seal top of pan tightly with foil.
  4. Bake artichokes at 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until leaves easily pull apart.
  5. While artichokes are cooking, combine all ingredients for dip together. Mix until well incorporated. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  6. Once artichokes are done baking, remove from oven, take foil off, flip artichokes over cut side up, and squeeze lemon juice over. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to cool and serve with dip.
