Instructions:

- Prepare the artichokes: Cut off the top inch of each artichoke. Trim the stem and remove any tough outer leaves. Use kitchen shears to snip off the pointy tips of the remaining leaves.
- Rub the cut surfaces of the artichokes with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper.

- Place the artichokes in a baking dish and add about 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the dish.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender and the leaves are easily pulled off.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or oregano.
- Serve with a dipping sauce, such as aioli or a lemon-herb vinaigrette.
