Prepare the Artichokes

Trim the tops off the artichokes and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half and scoop out the fuzzy choke in the center. Rub the cut surfaces with lemon to prevent browning.

Prepare the Stuffing

In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and mix until the stuffing holds together when pressed.

Stuff the Artichokes

Gently open the artichoke halves and fill the centers with the stuffing mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Cook the Stuffed Artichokes

Place the stuffed artichokes in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Add a splash of water or broth to the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes or until the artichokes are tender.

Serve

Garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve warm.
