Learn how to grill artichokes with this simple recipe. If you like artichokes, you are going to love them grilled! This Grilled Artichoke recipe has a delicate, smokey flavor thanks to the barbecue and is served with the most flavorful, amazing lemon aioli you will ever eat.

I’m excited for two reasons: first, I love, love, love the heat; I am a sun lover, 100%; and second, grilling season is back again, yay. It’s finally warming up outside, and summer will be here before we know it.

My mother would frequently prepare them for us during artichoke season; we always ate them boiled and served with mayonnaise. They were (and still are) my absolute favorite vegetable. I was born in the Bay Area of California and grew up with artichoke plants in my backyard.

Brush artichokes with garlic oil all over and lightly season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on grill and cook until lightly charred on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until charred on second side, 5 minutes more.

Ingredients:

  • 6 fresh artichokes
  • 2 lemons halved, plus 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instruction:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Trim the stem from each artichoke to 1-inch long, then bend back and snap off dark outer leaves. Cut top inch of artichokes with serrated knife. Using a vegetable peeler, peel dark green areas from stem and base of artichoke. Quarter each artichoke. Using a small, sharp knife, cut out the choke and remove the purple, prickly tipped leaves from the center of each wedge.
  3. Place finished artichokes in a large bowl of cold water and squeeze 2 lemons into the water and stir. Continue with remaining artichokes.
  4. Once finished, drain the artichokes and place into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
  5. Drain the cooked artichokes and place onto preheated grill. Cook until tender and lightly charred in spots, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl, add remaining lemon juice (1/3 cup) parsley, garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. Gradually drizzle in olive oil.
  7. Toss or drizzle the grill artichokes with the garlic/parsley mixture and serve.
