Delicious Grilled Artichokes with Garlic Butter

These Grilled Garlic Butter Artichokes are prepared by steaming the artichokes first, then grilling them to perfection. The garlic butter adds a rich flavor that complements the natural taste of the artichokes. This recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 medium artichokes
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Artichokes: Trim the stems of the artichokes and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the top inch off each artichoke and rub the cut edges with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Steam the Artichokes: Place the artichokes in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 30 minutes, or until the leaves can be easily pulled off.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika if using.

Grill the Artichokes: Preheat the grill to medium heat. Once the artichokes are steamed, carefully cut them in half lengthwise and brush the insides with the garlic butter mixture.
Grill: Place the artichoke halves cut side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, then flip and brush with more garlic butter. Grill for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are slightly charred.
Serve: Remove from the grill and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
