Roasted Artichoke with Garlic and Sage
Roasted Artichoke Stuffed with Garlic and Sage recipe shared by Maren from Eating Works.
I would recommend using clarified butter or ghee since we are roasting these artichokes at high temperatures and olive oil has a low smoke point. You can also use safflower oil or coconut oil.
| Prep Time | Cook Time | Total Time |
|---|---|---|
| 30 mins | 2 hours | 2 hours, 30 mins |

*If you want a faster cook time use baby artichokes instead, they only need 1 hour to roast. The small artichokes are also nice because they don’t have a “choke” which makes them easier for kids to eat. When you get to this part scrape it out with a spoon before eating the heart of the artichoke aka the best part.
*Artichoke Heart -This is the meatiest and largest edible part of the plant connected to the stem.
*Choke – the fuzzy prickly part of the artichoke located beneath the leaves at the core and it is inedible
