Ingredients
  

  • 2 jumbo artichokes
  • 6 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • ½ cup 1 stick butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 pinch Italian seasoning
  • 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Grill:

  • Preheat the grill to 375°F.
  • Tear off 4 sheets of foil about 18" long.

PREPARE THE ARTICHOKES:

  • Using your scissors, carefully cut the pointy tip off each leaf. (TIP: Watch the video for this technique.)
  • Place the artichoke on a cutting board and cut the very top of it off.
  • Then cut off the stem.
  • While holding the artichoke, carefully cut the artichoke in half lengthwise.
  • Remove the choke (fuzzy stuff in the center) using the tip of your knife.
  • Carefully remove the purple inner leaves with your fingers and discard them.
  • Be sure to remove any lingering little fuzzy hairs. (Use your knife to remove these.)
  • Repeat the process with the remaining artichoke halves.

CLEAN THE ARTICHOKES:

  • Rinse the artichoke halves under cool water, making sure to get in and all around the leaves.
  • Turn over and drain out the water.
  • Set the halves aside.

MAKE GARLIC BUTTER:

  • Peel and finely chop the garlic and place in the measuring cup.
  • Cut the butter into chunks and add to the measuring cup.
  • Microwave the mixture for about 1 minute, or until melted.
  • Stir with a fork to combine.

ASSEMBLE THE ARTICHOKE FOIL PACKETS:

  • Place each artichoke half on the center of a piece of foil.
  • Drizzle about 1/4 of the garlic butter in the center and over the leaves of the artichoke half.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
  • Wrap the foil around the artichoke. (TIP: Watch the video for this technique.)
  • Repeat the process with the remaining halves.

GRILL THE 'CHOKES:

  • Place the foil packets on the top shelf of the preheated grill.
  • Cook for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the artichokes.
  • When done, carefully remove the packets from the grill.

SERVE & ENJOY:

  • Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over each artichoke half.
  • Enjoy as an appetizer or alongside your favorite main dish!
